India's First Carbon neutral panchayat

Palli village has become India’s first panchayat to become carbon neutral and fully solar energy powered in India. Palli viallage is located in Samba District of Jammu.

Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the 500 KW solar plant at this carbon-neutral panchayat.
With this inauguration Palli has become the country’s first panchayat to become carbon-neutral.
The 500 KW solar plant was set up at Palli in a record three weeks’ time.
Palli has played a major step towards the Glasgow goal of making the country carbon-neutral.
Palli will now be looked at as a model panchayat, and this will motivate the other panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir, and India to become carbon-neutral.
In Palli in a total area of 6,408 square metres 1,500 solar panels have been set up.
These solar panels will be providing clean electricity to 340 houses that are located in the panchayat.
The electricity that will be generated will be distributed by the local power grid station.
