After the white revolution of milk, Anand has paved a new path for the orange revolution of solar electricity. Solar farmers have gained recognition in the world by establishing a solar power producer cooperative mandali in Dhundi village with a population of 1500 in Thasara taluka of Kheda district. Earn 30 lakhs in 4 years.
A total of 2.70 lakh e-units have been produced. A total income of Rs 40 lakh has been earned in 5 years of solar energy. The world’s first solar producing cooperative circle has been formed here. After 5 years, the NGO has released a report after studying these farmers. Which can give a new direction to the farmers of Gujarat.

Remove tax on solar panel
If the government removes all taxes on solar panels and equipment, 10 lakh solar pumps can be in Gujarat without subsidy. Orang can bring revolution after white revolution in Gujarat. Subsides may get furious but if the tax is waived on solar panel, instrument, pump, farmer revolution can happen. Farmers believe so. But Vijay Rupani’s BJP government will not do this. No government of the country will do this.
Diesel pump bond

If all the sources of solar energy in Gujarat are tax-free, then the government will not have to give subsidy on the farm. 20 thousand crores can be saved in a year.
A diesel engine runs at 50 bore in Dhundi village. Farmers had to spend Rs0.16 to 0.20 per unit of electricity on diesel usage as against 60 paise per unit of electricity given to the farmers by the government.
