The Prime Minister said, "Today, on the auspicious occasion of the Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya, my resolve has been further strengthened that the people of India should have their solar rooftop system on the roof of their houses."
The first decision I have taken after returning from Ayodhya is that our government will launch 'Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana' with the target of installing rooftop solar on 1 crore houses, Prime Minister's Office said in a release.
This will not only reduce the electricity bill of the poor and middle class, but will also make India self-reliant in the field of energy, the release added quoting PM Modi as saying.
Taking to social media platform, X, the Prime Minister said, "All the devotees of the world always get energy from the light of Suryavanshi Lord Shri Ram."
सूर्यवंशी भगवान श्री राम के आलोक से विश्व के सभी भक्तगण सदैव ऊर्जा प्राप्त करते हैं।

Earlier in the day, PM Modi in the temple town of Uttar Pradesh said that the construction of the temple which was supposed to 'set off a firestorm' is a symbol of peace, patience, harmony and integration of the country.
"There was also a time when some people used to say 'Ram Mandir bana toh aag lag jaegi' (the construction of the temple will set off a firestorm). Such people could not understand the purity of India's social spirit. The construction of this temple of Ram Lalla is also a symbol of peace, patience, mutual harmony and coordination of the Indian society. We are seeing that this construction is not giving birth to any fire, but to energy," he said.
