In a bid to champion renewable energy and set a new world record, the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is planning to install the longest line of solar-powered street lights in Ayodhya. 

The current record, held by Malham, Saudi Arabia, involves 468 solar lights arranged over a stretch of 9.7 km.

The project, led by the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA), aims to install 470 solar-powered lights covering a stretch of 10.2 km connecting Guptar Ghat to Laxman Ghat in Ayodhya. 

Once completed, the state government plans to submit the achievement to the Guinness World Records for official inspection, potentially declaring the stretch as the longest solar-powered street in the world.

Presently, 310 out of the 470 lights are already functional, and efforts are underway to cover the remaining stretch between Guptar Ghat and Nirmali Kund.

Officials expressed confidence that the lights on the entire stretch will be operational before January 22, coinciding with the day of 'pran pratishtha.' 

The 4.4-watt LED-based solar lights feature smart technology, capable of sensing daylight and automatically switching off. Additionally, these lights are linked to a grid designed to supply renewable energy to Ayodhya.
