“We are planning to use solar power mainly for the emergency room, the patient OPD and the dressing room. It will be helpful for accomplishing tasks which require minimum energy like the lighting system and supplying lukewarm water to patients for washing hands,” said Dr Rakesh Khullar, additional Chief Medical Officer.
“We have already send the proposal to the Energy Research Centre under the University Institute of Chemical Engineering a few months back, enlisting all the requirements and details. The ERC has accepted the plan and encouraged us to go ahead,” said Dr Khullar.
Following the registrar’s approval, the system is likely to be installed by the end of this year making the health centre one of the several health institutes utilizing solar energy.
Chandigarh is already being developed as a model solar city and has a plan to provide 300 private houses with solar power that will be provided equipments at a 30% subsidy.
