Mahatma Gandhi has always propagated “Not mass production but production by the masses”. It is high time that we pay gratitude and thus adopt Gandhian ideologies while celebrating the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The Gandhi Global Solar Yatra (GGSY) is planned to promote self-sufficiency in energy for sustainability by providing complete, cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable solar energy access while protecting the environment, creating livelihoods, and empowering locals.
