A street play (nukkad natak) was organized in Jaynagar, Madhubani district, on Saturday to raise awareness among the public about the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. The event was held near Kali Mandir on Kamala Road, organized by the Electricity Supply Division, Jaynagar, of North Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited.

Artists from the Nukkad Natak team of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) used acting and dialogues to explain the scheme in detail. They demonstrated how installing rooftop solar panels can meet household electricity needs and lead to significant savings on electricity bills. The artists used simple and local language to convey the objectives of the scheme and the benefits available to consumers.

The performers also linked the use of solar energy to reducing electricity costs, promoting clean energy, and environmental protection. They informed the audience that eligible families can receive subsidies for installing solar panels as per the central government's rules. Furthermore, there is a provision to send surplus electricity generated at home back to the grid.

The program saw the presence of Executive Engineer Rahul Kumar, SDO Varun Kumar, JE Gauri Shankar Prasad, and other officials and staff from the electricity department. Local consumers also actively participated in this awareness campaign. Electricity department officials urged people to disseminate information about the scheme to more families and encourage eligible consumers to avail its benefits. A good number of local residents also attended the nukkad natak, where artists emphasized solar energy as a future necessity, advocating for its maximum utilization.
