The government has launched the PM Surya Ghar scheme, which provides free electricity to farmers. The scheme includes a subsidy of up to ₹6,000 per farmer and offers low-interest loans for solar panels. The scheme aims to provide financial assistance to farmers through various government initiatives. The government claims that 1155 families in Raghunandan village have received zero electricity bills under the scheme. However, some states are offering additional subsidies. The opposition alleges that the government is trying to benefit a select few.
