As the Maharashtra government makes strides towards its net-zero target and renewable energy promotion, community representatives and experts are advocating for increased support for solar energy and government subsidies. The first of four town halls, organised by the Environment & Climate Change Department of the Government of Maharashtra and Climate Voices, was held on Thursday, showcasing successful solar and renewable energy initiatives at religious establishments and within communities. It also highlighted the challenges faced in implementing these initiatives.
This event was part of the state government’s “Majhi Vasundahara 4.0 Climate Resilient Maharashtra Town Hall” and explored the future of solar energy in Maharashtra under the theme, “Power Packed: The Future Growth of Solar.” Valuable input and suggestions were collected from both the community and experts.
