Question

The primary objective of PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is to:

• A. Provide subsidised solar pumps to farmers for irrigation
• B. Provide free electricity through a rooftop Solar System
• C. Installing solar panels on all government buildings by 2030
• D. Promote solar-based EV charging stations in urban areas

Hint:

Don't confuse this with "PM-KUSUM." PM-KUSUM is for solar pumps (farmers), while PM Surya Ghar is for rooftop solar (households).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Break down the scheme name.
"PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana" - Surya = Sun, Ghar = House, Muft = Free, Bijli = Electricity. The Hindi name itself reveals the scheme's core objective.
Step 2: Understand the primary objective.
The scheme installs rooftop solar systems at 1 crore (10 million) households across India, enabling them to generate their own electricity and receive effectively zero electricity bills - free electricity via solar power.
Step 3: Eliminate the distractors.
PM-KUSUM covers solar pumps for farmers. Government-building solar panels is a separate initiative. EV charging stations are not part of this scheme. The unique feature here is "Muft Bijli" (free electricity) for residential households through rooftop solar.
\[ \boxed{\text{Free electricity via rooftop Solar System}} \]
