If you live in these ten districts in Sindh you could be one of 20,000 households eligible for a 50 percent subsidy to install a solar system at home with PV solar plates, a Lithium ion battery, three LED bulbs, one DC fan and one mobile charger port. Those districts are: Badin, Ghotki, Jacobabad, Kashmore, Khairpur, Qambar-Shahdadkot, Sanghar, Tharparkar, Sujawal and Umerkot. The Sindh government is working with World Bank assistance for this Rs4 billion programme. It will target 20,000 households in the 10 districts. The household will pay for half of the system and the rest will be covered by the government.Â
