The state of Chhattisgarh has introduced the Solar Didis initiative, a program that trains and employs rural women in solar energy projects, aiming to boost local employment and promote renewable energy.
The state government of Chhattisgarh has rolled out the Solar Didis initiative, a new scheme designed to empower rural women through employment in the solar energy sector.
Under the program, women from remote villages receive training in the installation and maintenance of solar panels, equipping them with skills that are in demand across the country’s growing renewable energy market.
Participants are expected to work on local solar projects, providing a steady source of income while contributing to the state’s goal of expanding clean energy infrastructure.
The initiative is part of Chhattisgarh’s broader strategy to promote sustainable development and gender inclusion in rural economies.
Officials say the program will create a network of skilled female technicians who can serve their communities and inspire further participation in STEM fields.
