As the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he had taken big steps like installing solar panels in places like canals and solar parks for solar power generation. Due to this vision of the future, today India is included in the top 5 countries producing and using solar energy in the world.

Arrangement for Sun Temple
Modhera is also famous for its historical Sun Temple. Thousands of tourists come here every year and are amazed to see the historical Sun Temple and its craftsmanship. Arrangements have also been made for this temple in this project. This temple has been furnished with heritage lighting and 3D projection. These will also work on solar energy only.

The government said it shows how renewable energy can empower people at the grassroots level. With this step the people of the village can save 60% to 100% in their electricity bills.
