KP govt decides to switch all registered seminaries to solar energy

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has announced plans to transition all registered seminaries in the province to solar power, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy use in religious institutions. The Auqaf department, responsible for religious and charitable matters, is collaborating with the Provincial Energy and Power Department to initiate a comprehensive survey aimed at facilitating this solar energy conversion.

This initiative builds on an earlier decision by the provincial government to provide free solar systems to over 1,000 seminaries. By shifting these institutions to solar power, the government seeks to address energy challenges while promoting environmental sustainability. The move is part of a broader strategy to enhance energy efficiency and reduce reliance on traditional power sources, which are often costly and environmentally damaging.

The government’s focus on solar energy for seminaries not only ensures a more reliable power supply for these institutions but also aligns with the global push towards renewable energy. This initiative reflects the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s commitment to fostering green energy solutions across the province, setting a precedent for other regions to follow in integrating renewable energy into public and religious infrastructure.
