Goldi Solar, a Gujarat-based solar panel manufacturer and EPC services provider, in partnership with Shree Ramkrishna Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF), today laid the foundation stone for the solarization of the village of Dudhala in Southern Gujarat. Under the partnership, it shall set up 450kW of solar rooftop projects to power around 350 houses and public areas such as anganwadis and gram panchayat.
Once complete, this would be the first village to be completely powered with solar panels. The solar rooftop systems will empower close to 2,000 people to earn their livelihood.
Ishver Dholakiya, founder and managing director, Goldi Solar said, “This plan has been undertaken under Shri Govindbhai Dholakia’s mentorship and vision to give back to society. It is a proud moment for Goldi Solar to take up this project in empowering people with better quality of life. We also believe that this project truly captures the true spirit of PM Modi’s Atmanirbhar campaign and takes a step towards providing 24×7 power for all. We thank SRKKF for giving us the opportunity to truly make a difference to the lives of many.”
SRKKF is the CSR arm of Shree Ramkrishna Exports, an Indian diamond company. Apart from funding renewable energy projects, the foundation will provide free wi-fi services, healthcare, medical infrastructure and service to Dudhala.
