Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 "SOLAR SHIRDI" TO BE INDIA'S "SUN-CITY" 22nd Feb`2010PratahkalMumbai : Preparations are on to make the divine abode of Sai Baba's "Shirdi", into a Sun-City. In 2009, the Shirdi Sai Sansthan had installed the World's biggest Solar Steam cooking system in it's Sai Prasadalaya. Prior to which, the Central Government had already declared Shirdi as a "Solar City". The Shirdi Sansthan is always on the lookout for innovative ways to reduce its overhead costs. In the "Sulabh Shauchalaya" complex located in its premises, a Bio-gas plant is installed to generate gas from human excreta, which is used to operate the generators to produce Electricity for the complex. Shirdi Sansthan has also installed Solar Street Lights in its Pumping complex. What attracted the attention of the Sai Sansthan towards going Solar,was how the Shirdi Sai Prasadalaya prepared meals for 20,000 devotees daily, just by using Solar Energy. So, now on the level of the Sai Sansthan & the Shirdi Nagar Panchayat, preparations have begun to finalize this Solar project. If this proposal gets drafted and passed in time, then from next year itself Shirdi is likely to be recognized in the form of a Sun-City. And for this Solar project which is worth Rs.One & half Crore, the Central Government has given a grant of Rs 40 lakhs, after which an additional grant of Rs 18 lakhs will also be given.Source - http://pratahkal.com/index.php?option=com_content & task=view & id=120161“God is the Sun and when His rays fall upon your Heart, not impeded by the Clouds of Egoism, the Lotus blooms and the Petals unfold.â€.........
