Hindustan TimesLucknow: Under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, the Uttar Pradesh government had planned to train over 30,000 youths from the state as Surya Mitras to quickly achieve PM Modi’s vision of rooftop solar panel in each household in the state, a government spokesman said here on Monday. The Surya Mitra training programme spans three months and includes 600 hours of comprehensive training. To develop skilled manpower for the solar energy sector, the National Solar Energy Mission has outlined a plan to groom Surya Mitras, creating a workforce of skilled workers for solar projects. Following the launch of the PM Surya Ghar Yojana in February 2023, which aims to install 1 crore solar rooftops nationwide, UP government has committed to contributing 25 lakh solar rooftop panels to this goal.
