M.S.J. College, Bharatpur (Rajasthan) is the first in the Eastern zone of
Rajasthan amongest allGovernment Colleges to have successfully channelized
solar energy of 35 KV to meet a part of daily electricity requirements. A state
with abundant sunshine should have set an example in using solar energy to meet
most of its requirements is still a dream. But the M.S.J. College, Bharatpur in
a first of its kind initiatives has shown the way by meeting more than 50
percent of its energy need through solar energy. The college lies in the
tropical region of Rajasthan and receives enough sunlight to meet 100 percent
energy requirements. Fulfilling its commitment of promoting sustainable
development, the college has installed
solar panels of 35 KV in the college with grid connection which becomes active
after sunrise and switch off automatically after sunset. Moreover, fans,
tubelights, computers and other equipments are operated by solar energy. The
college campus has almost Thirteen blocks (Administrative, Library, PGTeaching,
UG Teaching, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Physics, Staff Room, Central Hall,
Geography, Political Science and Smart classrooms) with an average monthly
requirement of 6000 KWH electricity, of which 3500 KWH is generated by solar panels.
In addition to being renewable source of energy and ecofriendly, the method is
also proving to be cost effective for the college. There was 60 percent
reduction in the electricity bill of the month of November-2017 as compared to
previous months. The college is further planning to install more units of solar
energy in the near future to become the first college in the state to run 100
percent on a renewable source of energy. Once the upcoming project will be
completed,the college will join the list of India’s few academic institutions
promoting sustainable development. The day is not far when the college will
attain self reliance in terms of power requirements
