Pavagada Solar Park is like a giant solar farm in Karnataka that catches sunlight and turns it into electricity. This place is super sustainable because it uses clean and renewable solar energy instead of burning fuels like coal or oil. That means it doesn't pollute the air and helps slow down global warming. It also helps farmers by renting their land for the park, so they earn money without harming the soil.
This park fits well with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). It helps bring clean electricity to lakhs of people and protects nature at the same time.
Located in the Tumkur district of Karnataka, it covers over 13,000 acres, making it one of the biggest solar parks in the world! The project was started by Karnataka Solar Power Development Corporation Ltd. (KSPDCL). It has won praise globally for being a great example of using sunlight to power homes, schools, and cities.
Isn’t it cool that something as simple as sunlight can light up thousands of homes? Pavagada shows how India is stepping up to protect the Earth and support clean energy.
