Lots of dealers of solar geysers in Ludhiana alone.

My friend was a dealer in solar panels. He said a person has to invest 3-5 lakh rupees to get 3-5 mega watts solar panel system installed and it will take around 4 years to get even. People don't want to make that initial investment.

I don't hv much knowledge about wind energy potential in punjab but it sounds a good idea too.

If that is the case and the Punjab govt buys excess solar power for the power grid then isn't it possible for NRP (yes, no- resident Punjabis, not no-resident Indians!) to invest 3-5 lakh rupees which is roughly £3,000-5,000 and within the financial means of a NRP family to install solar cells on top of the roofs of their mostly locked up properties and then they would get their money back say within a year, because whereas for a resident Punjabi they would be using much the power supplied by the solar cells for their own electricity needs but the NRPs as they do not reside in their houses in the village would be selling over 90% of the power generated into the Punjab power grid. Surely, for the Punjab govt paying NRPs for the solar power generated through such eco-friendly means rather to generate the same power burning expensive coal imported from outside the state for coal fired power stations? This stop Punjab taxpayers money from being sent to other states and that money will be paid to Punjabis who will then invest it in the state leading to an economic boom in the state and a increase in the states GDP. 

For the more benevolent NRPs after they had got their initial investment back after the first year they could donate the subsequent years of the money from the power sold to the village so that a fund could then me created to improve and modernise the infrastructure of the village. An agreement could be made whereby the village would agree to supply a electrician from the village who would be responsible for maintaining the solar cells. This money could also be used to fund initiatives such as eco farming, gobar gas plants etc. It seems to be a win-win situation for all

Considering that many Punjab villages have over 50 to 100 households of NRP, then if most of them take part in this scheme then the fund could easily turn the village into mostly eco-village over a decade or so. Punjab could have 24/7 power and the access to 24/7 would allow for innovation and entrepreneurship on a large scale. If the logistics of using 50-100 separate rooftops is unfeasible then the village community could donate a few acres for a 'solar farm' where all these solar cells installed by NRPs could be located in one place and the above could all be done more easily.

How much of the surrounding area from the centre of 'eco village' would have to be free from these to minimise 'cross-contamination' ?   Really, there being so many 'jatts' on this forum, someone should have an idea...

Good point. Do we even know to what extent contamination has taken place? Have any thorough studies taken place?

Are the majority of farmers expecting to carry on with the pesticide/fertiliser heavy techniques indefinitely?

Excellent ideas!

The solar panels available in the market come with 25 years guarantee.

Plus lots of work and research is being done on solar panels to make them more efficient and less expensive.

Apart from solar panels, solar geysers and solar inverters r also getting popular.

Just to clarify things

If you hv a solar farm, you can sell solar power to govt. and make money.

Due to corruption in the govt. , it's not signing many agreements with solar farms, but if good govt. comes, we can hv solar farms all over punjab.

If u install 3KW(sorry I wrote mega watts earlier) solar panel on the roof top of ur house, it will cost around 2 lakh rupees.

If u generated 12 units a day and used 15 units from govt. grid, govt.  will bill u for only 3 units.

If u used 12 units from govt., u will hv zero bill.

If u used 10 units from govt, govt. Won't pay u for the 2 units u gave to govt.

Basically, solar farms can solve all electricity problems of punjab if an eemandaar govt. comes.

Shine Solar energy solutions is a solar company in Ludhiana and they hv the know how to revolutionize punjab with solar energy.

Won’t the haze/smog/paddy burning and industrial pollution etc makes the solar ineffective in major cities such as Ludhiana?

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
