Today Honourable Deputy CM Jishnu Dev Varma wrote a post on his timeline highlighting the article’ From darkness to solar-powered light’ published by The Hindu covering Sarkhipara, in Tripura’s Khowai district about 90 km east of Agartala.
This article talks about how villagers’ lives changed in Sarkhipara after installing micro-grid solar plants. The Hindu’s article mentioned Lebirung Reang and her husband Natuharia Reang who got married 6 years ago. The installation of solar plants reminds her of how her husband used to say that he could bring the moon and the stars home for her.
‘Life has changed in Sarkhipara after a micro-grid solar plant a year ago. Rahul Karmakar talks to villagers in the hamlet in Tripura’s khowai district to chronicle how electricity finally came, and how it affected their prospects and daily life rhythm’ says The Hindu.
