In a progressive move, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak announces the installation of solar plants in medical colleges.
Solar Empowerment for Healthcare Institutions
Deputy Chief Minister Pathak instructs the installation of solar plants in the state’s 35 government medical colleges, including prestigious institutions like King George’s Medical University and Lohia Institute, to enhance electricity production.
Benefits for Patient Care and Beyond
Pathak emphasizes that generating solar power will not only provide uninterrupted electricity but also contribute to improving patient care in medical facilities.
Potential for Excess Electricity Sales
Medical colleges generating excess electricity can engage with the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) for the sale of surplus energy.
Infrastructure Upgrades in the Pipeline
In addition to solar initiatives, plans include upgrading the modular operating theatre at King George’s Medical University and initiating a DNB course in vascular surgery at GSVM Memorial Medical College, Kanpur.
This strategic adoption of solar energy aligns with Uttar Pradesh’s commitment to sustainable practices in the healthcare sector, ensuring reliable power and advancing medical infrastructure.
