Solar Energy Consumption And Economic Growth Of Farmers In North India - A Way Towards Ecological Sustainable Economy

Abstract

In North India, agriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy and sustenance of rural communities, yet it faces challenges of sustainability amidst rising energy demands and environmental concerns. This study examines the potential of solar energy adoption among farmers as a catalyst for economic growth and ecological sustainability. Through a mixed-methods approach incorporating surveys and qualitative interviews, data will be gathered to analyze the current state of solar energy consumption among farmers and its impact on economic indicators such as income levels, productivity, and cost savings. The research aims to fill gaps in existing literature by focusing specifically on the North Indian context, where solar energy adoption remains underexplored despite its potential benefits for both economic development and environmental conservation. Findings are expected to provide empirical insights into the viability of solar energy as a sustainable energy source in agriculture, offering implications for policy makers and stakeholders seeking to foster an ecological sustainable economy in the region.
