PTI, Aug 4, 2024, 12:29 PM IST
The Congress on Sunday attacked the Centre over the implementation of the PM-KUSUM initiative, launched in 2019 to increase the agricultural use of solar energy across the country, and said the Modi government cannot persist with such “cavalier” implementation of schemes.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has revealed some “startling facts” about PM-KUSUM, launched with “great fanfare” in 2019 to increase the agricultural use of solar energy across the country.
“Here’s the update from 2024, two years before completion target of 2026: Promise: Installation of 10,000 MW decentralized solar power plants on agriculture land. Reality: 256 MW has been installed (2.56% of target),” Ramesh said in a post on X.
