The solar TV, powered entirely by photovoltaic panels, provides residents with access to news, educational programs and entertainment without relying on the unreliable local grid.
Local officials say the installation is part of a broader effort to bring digital services to underserved areas, and they plan to replicate the model in other villages across the state.
The project was carried out by the state's rural development department in partnership with a local NGO that specializes in solar technology.
