India's Congress party criticizes underperformance of 2019 PM-KUSUM solar energy scheme in agriculture.

India's Congress party criticizes the Indian government's implementation of the 2019 PM-KUSUM scheme, aiming to promote solar energy in agriculture. The scheme has reportedly only achieved 2.56% of its target for installed decentralized solar power plants, with 28% of the 14 lakh solar pumps installed and 0.38% of the 35 lakh additional solarized pumps met. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh called for improved execution, as transitioning to renewable energy sources is crucial for India's economy and climate resilience.
