Sood emphasized that the inauguration of this infrastructure represents not merely the establishment of a building or facility, but a transformative vision and strategic direction for the capital. By aligning Delhi’s Solar Policy with the Prime Minister’s ‘Surya Ghar Yojana,’ he highlighted that households installing a 3 kW solar panel will qualify for a subsidy of ₹78,000 from the central government, along with an additional ₹30,000 top-up subsidy from the Delhi government—bringing the total support to ₹1,08,000. Furthermore, low-interest loans at a rate of 5% will be available to cover the remaining costs. Notably, rather than collecting payments, the power department will credit users monthly with the savings generated from solar electricity. This forward-thinking approach is instrumental in shaping a sustainable future for Delhi.

Accompanied by local MLA Karnail Singh, the Director of Education, and officials from the Public Works Department (PWD), Sood visited the Sarvodaya Co-educational School in Saraswati Vihar and the Government Senior Secondary School in Rani Bagh, as detailed in an official statement.
