Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif officially inaugurated the agricultural tube well solarisation project today, marking a significant step towards sustainable farming in the province. The first phase of the initiative will see 8,000 agricultural tube wells switched to solar power across Punjab.
Speaking at the ceremony, Maryam Nawaz announced that successful farmers would be selected through a lottery system. The first name drawn was Muhammad Nawaz from Attock. She also reviewed the list of successful farmers from Narowal district. This project is expected to bring major savings to farmers. A typical farmer can save up to Rs10,000 daily and more than Rs3.25 lakh monthly by switching to solar-powered tube wells.
