Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Dear Friends,

 

 

Just read your above-mentioned article in today’s Business Line

 

 

At one place , you write :

 

“  Dhundi village in Kheda district of Gujarat, formed the WORLD’s FIRST , Solar Irrigation CooperativeDhundi Saur Urja Utpadk Sahakari Mandli DSUUSM )

   in 2016

 

   The Solar Energy provides, power to run irrigation pumps, water for farms, cattle, homes and income by selling the SURPLUS ENERGY to the Grids 

 

 

 

In this context, you might want to look up my following earlier E-MAILS to our Cabinet Ministers :

[ B ]    Market-based Model for Renewable Energy ………………[ 09 June 2021 ]

 

Extract :

#  Introduce “ Co-operative Farming of Solar Power / CFSP “ { call it a kind of

    “ Contract Farming “ }

    Incorporate this into just released FARM LAWS to encourage setting- up of :

     Farmers’  AMUL Milk Cooperative Society

    

#   Solar Farm company can “ Sell “ ownership rights of solar panels

[ E ]      No Godfather for Rooftop Solar ? ……………………[ 01 June 2021 ]

 

Extract :

 

Dear Shri R K Singhji ( Minister for Power ) :

Ø    It is high time we stop limiting our SOLAR VISION HORIZON like a “ Frog

       in the Well “

Ø    It is time to remember that the nomenclature : Roof Top Solar “, somehow

     ties us down to the words ROOF TOP , which is only just one of the

     locations which can be used to harness Solar Energy

      

 Ø   Solar Energy can also be harvested at other locations on Earth, such as

     FARMS , DESERTS, LAKES, MOUNTAIN TOPS, HIGHWAYS , TRAIN TRACKS,

    etc., or even through solar panels farms in  SPACE ( low earth orbits ? ),

     beaming electricity down to Earth-based receivers ( using micro-waves ? )

 

 Ø  We must break loose  from the narrowly defined, Roof-Top Solar / Land-

      based Solar and latch on to the all-encompassing concept of :

                SOLAR  ENERGY  TRADING INFRASTRUCTURE  ( SETI  )

 

 

Dear Shri Amitbhai Shah ,

 

 

You are the Minister for Cooperatives

 

Against our target of 40 GW of Rooftop Solar by March 2022, as of today ( mid

May 2022 ), we have managed to achieve, a meagre 6 GW !

 

To fulfil the commitment made by our PM , Shri Modiji at COP26, there is only ONE

WAY –  Sardar Patel Way !

 

Please , implement my suggestion to turn this entire system ( of generation–

distribution–sale of Solar Power ) into a :

 

 CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT

 

I urge you to REPLICATE the MIRACLE called AMUL
