Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday interacted with beneficiaries of the ‘PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijlee Yojna’ in Vavol area of Gujarat capital Gandhinagar.

He arrived at Shalin-2 society at around 10am and interacted with people from several households who have installed solar panels on rooftops as part of the ambitious Central government scheme launched on February 29 with an outlay of Rs 75,021 crore.

The PM spent 20 minutes at the residential complex.
