people living in the remote areas of Rajanpur, Cholistan, Thal and DG Khan will be provided the facility of solar energy and the government would adopt the off-grid solution to provide electricity to such remote villages, read the statement.

On the occasion, the chief minister said that great potential of generating solar energy was available in Punjab and added that lightening of schools through solar panels is an important initiative of the government.

“The installation of solar panels will help ensure uninterrupted power supply to the schools,” he added.

a very good initiative

 

[Major Sam]

Any feasibility? Any plan to bring solar panel manufacturing in Pakistan? Or just import everything like PM Laptop scheme?

Who will maintain them will it be cheaper than normal electricity?

We don't think that much especially if it is provincial govt. However some entrepreneur should have stepped in. Why we expect everything to be done by the govt? Why does the nation lack entrepreneurial thinking? Pakistan is a vast market for PV panels but everyone wants to invest in the real estate or starting up some grocery stores, petrol pumps, school, restaurant etc
No one thinks about expanding their horizons and invest in other areas that have more potential and growth. My conclusion is that we are short sighted people who are always looking for shortcuts and quick money.

Sirs, it's happening with schools ... And it won't be surprising if the remote villages start getting solar supply as well in near future - as we discussed elsewhere. Hopefully when the new local bodies are in place.

It is better this amount is spend on improving educational quality and initiating vocational and technical training of students.Schools generally not consume much electricity

When they can afford a 20 vehicle convoy for the stupidest lowest minister they can afford ac and laptops for every kid. It's a matter of priority
