Here’s a good deal for Rajasthan University that will save its money at the same time will help its campus to go green. Rajasthan University (RU) was allocated Rs 6.50 crore by the Jaipur Smart City Ltd for setting up of a solar power plant on Tuesday. The university is allowed to use 50% of the power generated out of the solar plant for free. While the rest 50% will be paid to the Jaipur Smart City Ltd on reasonable rates.
As per a report published in The Times of India, Chief public relations officer of Rajasthan University, Bhupendra Singh Shekawat told, "This solar plant will save Rs 10 lakh of the RU as this plant will meet the 50% of the total power consumption."
Every month university spends Rs 20-25 lakh on the electricity bills. The same amount will be spent only once on installing 950 kilowatt grid connected solar power plant. A survey for the same has been completed. The identified buildings were Central liabrary, Manviki Block, PG School of Social Science, Vigya Bhawan, Fine Arts Bhawan, Law Collge I and II. The idea of planting a solar plant is formulated by the vice chanceller Rajeshwar Singh. With making its campus solar power generating, RU has completely taken a wise decision to save money and also go eco-friendly.
