Self-help group women would be given the responsibility to implement the project and also to maintain it. The State government would also provide funds to SHGs to set up solar plants. The initiative would help the SHG women earn revenues through the maintenance of the solar plants, officials said.

Officials claimed that solar plants in temple lands would not only bring down the power bills of the temples but also help save them from encroachment. The move would also help temples generate revenues through the sale of excess power to DISCOMS through power grids, they added.
Already, the government has initiated steps to ensure that temple lands are not registered in the name of individuals and even geo-tagging exercises have also been taken up by the Endowments Department. So far about 34,000 acres of temple lands have been geo-tagged. District Collectors have been directed to initiate measures to reclaim the encroached and alienated endowment lands. (Maxim News)
