‘Accelerate the Implementation of Chief Minister Solar Agriculture Feeder 2.0 Project’ – Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai : The Chief Minister Solar Agriculture Feeder is a flagship program of the state government. The work on this project is progressing rapidly, and district collectors and superintendents of police should regularly review the challenges faced by developers and resolve the issues arising. A report on this should be submitted to the Chief Minister’s Office within the next 15 days, directed Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

While implementing the Chief Minister Solar Agriculture Feeder project, it is no longer necessary for developers to obtain a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the gram panchayat. Noting this, Chief Minister Fadnavis stated that in areas where land has been encroached upon, developers, along with district collectors, superintendents of police, and district council chief executive officers, should hold joint meetings. Responsibility should be assigned to the superintendent of police to resolve issues related to encroached land faced by developers.

Giving directions to grant all necessary permissions required for the project online, Chief Minister Fadnavis said that if any challenges arise in implementing this project that cannot be resolved at the district or village level, they will be addressed at the ministry level. Under no circumstances should the Chief Minister Solar Agriculture Feeder project be delayed, and all involved must take responsibility to ensure its timely completion and implementation, instructed Chief Minister Fadnavis.

A review meeting for the Chief Minister Solar Agriculture Feeder 2.0 project was held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Fadnavis at Sahyadri Guest House. Attendees of this meeting included Minister of State for Energy Meghana Bordikar, Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister Vikas Kharge, Additional Chief Secretary of the Energy Department Abha Shukla, Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue Department Rajesh Kumar, Additional Managing Director Lokesh Chandra, Principal Secretary Eknath Davle, Principal Secretary of the Forest Department Venugopal Reddy, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Ashwini Bhide, Secretary to the Chief Minister Dr. Shrikar Pardeshi, Nashik District Collector Jalaj Sharma, Chief Electrical Inspector Sandeep Patil, senior officials from the Energy Department, and via video conferencing, Other Backward Classes and Bahujan Welfare Minister Atul Save, as well as district collectors and developers from Pune, Jalna, Latur, Ahilyanagar, and Nandurbar districts.
