Solar energy is now going to be generated on the roofs of houses in Manyachiwadi in Patan tehsil, which is always one step ahead in national activities along with government initiatives. Manyachiwadi, which generates about one hundred kilowatts of electricity on the roofs of houses, will soon create its own identity as a solar village and will be known as the first 'solar village' in the state.

The work of the house-to-house solar power generation project has recently begun, and the construction of the solar power project has started almost throughout the entire village. About 10 technicians and employees have started constructing this project through Sanmitra Solar Energy of Tata Solar Power Company. The ideal journey of the state started by Manyachiwadi from cleanliness has now reached non-conventional energy generation. So far, through various activities, the villagers have made successful efforts to maintain a balance with environmental conservation. This is why this village panchayat has been honoured twice by the state government in the Vasundhara campaign. Now, it is going to be known as the first 'Solar Village' in the state through non-conventional energy generation.

One more coach in Chennamma Express

The Sangli-Bangalore Rani Chennamma Express, departing from Sangli and useful for traveling to Bengaluru, as well as Belgaum, Dharwad, Hubli, and neighboring Satara district, is always crowded with passengers from both districts. There has been a frequent demand from passengers to increase the number of general coaches. Finally, taking note of this demand, the South-Western Railway administration has decided to increase the existing number of general coaches by adding one more, and its implementation has already started. Due to the increase in the quota of general tickets, general unreserved and pass holder passengers have been well accommodated.
