Presenting Chikhalda- An Energy-Independent Solar Village, empowered by Goldi Solar
In a shining example of rural transformation and clean energy leadership, the complete solarization of Chikhalda, a tribal village nestled in the southern part of Gujarat’s Dang district. The village has achieved complete energy independence after being adopted by Goldi Solar. Through this impactful initiative, the company has fully solarized the village, ensuring 24×7 stable electricity for every home, school, public space, and water infrastructure—at zero cost to the residents. This transformation represents a new benchmark in rural electrification, led by a corporate partner deeply committed to sustainable, inclusive development.
Chikhalda is a direct reflection of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat in energy generation and aligns with flagship programs like the PM-Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and PM-KUSUM Yojana, which aim to democratize access to clean electricity and empower rural communities.
Goldi Solar has deployed its high-quality solar modules, manufactured using cutting-edge AI-powered technology, which is the first of its kind in India. This ensures a sustainable, reliable, and cost-free power supply across the village, enabling local skill-building, education through uninterrupted access to power, and enhanced agricultural operations with solar pumps thereby redefining the standard of living for residents.
The company’s recent campaign spirit—”Apni Bijli, Apni Azadi – Chikhalda Ki Kahani”—captures this renewed sense of dignity and progress. With Chikhalda, Goldi Solar continues to strengthen its position as one of India’s largest Solar manufacturers driving real change at the last mile. As India works toward its Net Zero goals, this initiative stands as a living example on how the private sector can champion purpose-driven progress.
