Rangacherra, a small village in the Mohanpur area of Tripura, is now the first green village in the state. This big step was made possible by a project from the Tripura Renewable Energy Development Agency (TREDA), with help from the state government.
The project cost ₹1.25 crore and brought solar power to the village. TREDA set up a solar power plant, solar street lights, solar lights in homes, and a clean drinking water system that also runs on solar energy.
Most families in Rangacherra came from Jharkhand and Bihar. For many years, they had to drink water that was not clean and had too much iron. Now, they have a solar-powered water filter. This gives them clean and safe water to drink.
The solar power plant is also connected to the state’s electricity grid. This means if the village has more electricity than it needs, it can give the extra power to the rest of the state.
More than 70 solar street lights now light up the village roads. This helps people walk safely at night. Solar lights inside homes make it easier for children to study and families to do their work even after dark.
Rangacherra shows how solar power can change lives in villages. With clean energy and safe water, the people here now live better and safer.
This project proves that with the right support, even remote villages can grow and improve. This village is now a model for other villages in Tripura and India.
