PM Modi praised Govind Dholakia’s forward-thinking approach:

“In matters of energy, Amreli district is advancing with new milestones. Dudhala village has embraced a solar-powered future through Govind Dholakia’s initiative. Six months ago, he shared his mission to solarise the entire village, and today, that vision is nearly complete. This initiative will save Dudhala about Rs. 75,000 per month, with each home saving Rs. 4000 annually, providing lasting benefits to the community.
