Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif Announced solar system roshan gharana program 2024/25

Introduction

Energy crises are significant obstacles to progress in any region. Punjab, the second most populous province of Pakistan, prioritizes meeting its energy needs. Recent data shows that Punjab's population is more urbanized, with urban residents making up 40.7% of Pakistan's total population. This underscores the urgent need for reliable electricity production for industrial and utility sectors.

 


Energy Crisis in Punjab

Punjab has faced severe energy deficits since the 1970s. Electricity consumption initially met only 32% of the demand, and this gap has widened over time, negatively impacting Punjab's economic progress. Frequent blackouts in industrial areas have further exacerbated the situation.

 

Chief Minister's Initiatives

As a responsible leader, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has addressed this critical issue by launching the Roshan Gharana Scheme. This initiative aims to alleviate the burden on the electricity sector by providing solar energy panels to households, marking a historic step in fostering a cooperative relationship between the government and the people.

 


Details of the Initiative

Under the Roshan Gharana Scheme, solar panels will be allocated to families consuming up to 500 electricity units. The project has been approved by both Maryam Nawaz Sharif and the Punjab Cabinet. This scheme aims to illuminate not only urban areas but also rural regions, ensuring a fair distribution process.

 

Financial Details

The project is a bold and substantial initiative. The government will cover 90% of the total cost of the solar panels, with the remaining 10% paid by the recipients. The payment plan spans five years with minimal interest, making it affordable. Additionally, the installment amount will be reduced during winter to further ease the financial burden on the people.

 

Application Procedure

Volunteers for the solar panel installation will be categorized based on their electricity usage. The first 450,000 families will receive solar panels on an easy installment plan. Applicants must send their electricity reference bill and ID card number to the toll-free number 8800. After verification, solar panels will be installed. Recipients will make an initial 25% payment through the National Bank of Pakistan and the Bank of Punjab, with no interest on this amount, and complete the payment through a five-year installment plan. The installation process will take place in September and October.

 

Accountability of Electricity Units

Initially, volunteers using up to 200 electricity units will receive free solar panels. In the second phase, those using 200-500 units will be awarded interest-free solar panels. In the third phase, users consuming more than 500 units will pay a portion of the cost, with the government covering 75%.

 

Implementation Plan

Solar panels will be distributed fairly, prioritizing underprivileged and backward areas of Punjab. This balanced approach aims to reduce the government’s electricity production burden and promote self-sufficiency in energy generation.

 

Government Stance

The government is committed to creating a sustainable energy source with minimal investment and long-lasting results. They promise to support citizens during crises and aim for a brighter future, hoping to see significant progress in the next five years.

 

Future of the Project

The Roshan Gharana Scheme envisions a brighter and more secure future for Punjab. An official meeting on the project was held on July 9th, 2024, marking the beginning of a new journey towards success and development in the province.

 

Eligibility Criteria

- Users of 50 or fewer units will receive a 500-watt solar panel.

- Users consuming 50 to 100 units will receive a 1-kilowatt solar panel.

- Users of 200-300 units will receive an 1100-watt solar panel.

- Users of 300-400 units will receive a 1650-kilowatt panel.

- Users of 500 units will receive a 2200-kilowatt panel.

- Applicants must be registered with one utility meter and should be filers.

- Recipients of government aid, such as the Benazir Income Support Program, are not eligible.

 

This comprehensive initiative aims to address Punjab's energy crisis by promoting solar energy and ensuring fair access for all residents.

SIMS LAB is a citadel of corruption built by the Government of Punjab, Pakistan for the poor people outside Services Hospital

Tests are done for poor patients at a very reasonable price from there, but the mafia sitting inside the lab is the government. The lab staff has heated up the corruption market and talked to patients in extreme manner. I had to go yesterday to do some tests, bought the ticket and started waiting, when my turn came, I gave the bill for the test, the lady says, "We don't have open money, we will give you a slip, you will come and take this corruption away." There is a way to go again and get the money back by giving the slip. Supposedly, even if you are given the remaining money, they also give one hundred, fifty less that they are not open. Now when I went inside to deposit blood for testing, those who wanted to take blood samples say that they don't have bottles to take blood samples. You should bring them outside from th...
