In a statement, PM Modi expressed the inspiration drawn from the consecration in Ayodhya, stating, "All the devotees of the world always get energy from the light of Suryavanshi Lord Shri Ram. 

Today, on the auspicious occasion of consecration in Ayodhya, my resolution got further strengthened that the people of India should have their own solar rooftop system on the roof of their houses."

"The first decision I have taken after returning from Ayodhya is that our government will launch 'Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana' with the target of installing rooftop solar on 1 crore houses," he added.

The announcement comes as a welcome move, particularly for the economically disadvantaged sections of society.
