Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduced the 'Pradhan Mantri Suryodaya Yojana', a government initiative aimed at rapidly expanding rooftop solar capacity by installing solar power systems on one crore houses. The scheme, launched after India fell short of its initial 40GW rooftop solar target by 2022, signals renewed efforts to achieve this goal by 2026. The scheme offers incentives and financial assistance to make rooftop solar adoption affordable for residential consumers, reducing electricity bills and supporting India's ambitious target of 500GW of renewable energy by 2030. While India's total solar capacity is around 73GW, rooftop solar accounts for only 11GW, highlighting the need for accelerated adoption, with implementation challenges requiring sustained policy support and innovative business models.

Modi Reenacting Somnath History at Ayodhya

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Ram Mandir temple in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024, echoing a similar event 73 years ago when President Rajendra Prasad inaugurated the Somnath temple. Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, opposed direct government participation in religious events like the Somnath inauguration, citing concerns about secularism. The parallels between Modi's upcoming inauguration and the historical events around Somnath highlight a shift in the government's approach to religious symbolism. The reconstruction of both Ayodhya and Somnath is framed by proponents as rectifying historical injustices, while critics argue that such actions threaten India's secular foundations and exacerbate communal tensions. The broader context places these events within a Hindu nationalist agenda, emphasizing a singular historical narrative at the expense of pluralism and minority inclusion, and legal disputes persist around the Ayodhya site's redevelopment.
