564 schools will be illuminated by ‘solar light’

Date:

Nagpur – The contractors finally appreciated the tender issued by Meda (Maharashtra Energy Development Agency). With this, 564 schools are expected to get ‘solar lights’. 100% of schools of Zilla Parishad will be equipped with solar energy. In the first phase, Rs 4.28 crore was also provided to Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA) for 287 schools through DPC. After this, Rs 7.18 crore was approved for the Zilla Parishad for solar panels through a mining fund. Solar panels would be installed by 720 schools.

Due to the intervention of some office bearers and members in the above works, it got delayed. As a result, the price of solar panel materials has gone up. Hence, Meda, Pune office floated tenders four-five times for 564 schools but got no response. In March 2022, Meda once again floated the tender. In this, Meda had relaxed some terms and conditions.

According to sources, the annual turnover of the contractors participating in the tender was reduced. After this, the response of some contractors came in the tender. It is learned that recently the tender has also been opened and soon the work order will be issued to the contractor. This paved the way for solar lighting in schools.
