Some more positive developments on the Solar Power front in Rajasthan! This effort will surely help Rajasthan rise up the popularity charts with environmentalists riding on the popularity of the World famous Keoladeo bird sanctuary, Bharatpur - just a few hours away from the capital city of Jaipur.
The Keoladeo bird sanctuary in Bharatpur would soon be contributing to conservation in more ways than one. Apart from being one of the finest birding areas, the sanctuary would soon go solar. It will be one of its only kind of park to be completely free from conventional energy sources.
According to R N Mehrotra, principal chief conservator of forest and head of forest forces, Rajasthan, "Work is on at the sanctuary to make it go solar. All sources using conventional energy would be replaced with those dependent on solar energy."
This would not only include lighting but air-conditioners in offices and guest houses. "The move will help us reduce carbon footprints. We will not be using any planetary energy source eventually. The project, in collaboration with the Centre, will be implemented by the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL). Work has already begun and is expected to be completed within a year," he added.
