Agro-photovoltaic projects are being offered as a solution to the growing resistance against solar energy projects that require large tracts of land and often lead to conflicts with the local communities. These projects allow traditional livelihoods, such as grazing, and generation of electricity, to co-exist on the same piece of land.

The Himalayan nation is known to have over 6,000 rivers and 96 per cent of its electricity needs are met through hydroelectric power. But, with climate change, as temperatures rise, glaciers melt and rainfall patterns become erratic, it is important to adopt an energy mix that promotes solar power generation. And this can be achieved alongside Nepal’s hydropower projects.

In forested hinterlands of Chhattisgarh, solar powered generators, which were pushed at a massive scale for nearly a decade, have fallen to disuse. Poor maintenance of solar units remains a huge problem. Maintenance technicians complain about irregular payments.

While power projects bring prosperity to the nation, people living in its shadow are often left behind when it comes to enjoying the benefits. Development projects must prioritise health and livelihoods of local populations. Development has to be ‘just’.

There is a need to reinvent the PM-KUSUM scheme by bringing in equity and gender into India’s ambitious plan to solarise the agriculture sector. Solar irrigation pump sets must enable farmers to earn by selling 60-70 per cent of their solar generation.

A three-day-long investors summit organised by the Uttar Pradesh government from February 10-12 saw participation from both national and international investors who are keen to tap into the potential of various sectors in the state. The state government has been putting forth an ‘ease of doing business’ model, assuring entrepreneurs of ground support for being part of Uttar Pradesh’s growth.

Under the Centre's KUSUM scheme, farmers are provided huge subsidy to adopt off-grid solar-powered agricultural pumps to meet the irrigation needs. But, in drought-hit parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada, about four months a year these solar pumps are of no use as water sources dry up. Experts call for reinventing the scheme
