In Bihar, electricity is no longer just about wires and transformers—it has become a symbol of self-reliance, relief, and environmental responsibility.
The Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is being promoted across the state to provide affordable and clean electricity through rooftop solar panels.
