Kusum Yojana, also known as Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan, is a plan by the Government of India to promote solar power in farming. Started in 2019, the goal of this scheme is to help farmers become producers of electricity by using clean solar energy. This reduces their need for traditional energy sources and allows them to earn money by selling extra power. Kusum Yojana is an important step toward growing renewable energy and supporting rural areas. Pinaka Solar Power helps farmers by providing easy-to-install and reliable solar systems, making the switch to solar energy simple and profitable.
