Chhattisgarh launched the DWEEPTI Yojana in July 2026 to promote women-led solar entrepreneurship and expand renewable energy access across rural areas. The scheme aims to establish 5,000 women-led solar enterprises and generate around 50,000 green jobs by empowering Self-Help Groups (SHGs) with training, financial support, and business opportunities. It also targets providing clean energy to 5 lakh families and 10,000 public institutions. Implemented under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the initiative links renewable energy adoption with women's economic empowerment and sustainable rural development.
