A gram sabha in Konar has approved a proposal to build a combined heat and power plant, aiming to boost local infrastructure and economic growth.
The gram sabha convened in the village of Konar voted to endorse a proposal for constructing a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. The resolution, passed unanimously, reflects the community’s desire to attract industrial activity and improve essential services.
The proposed CHP facility is expected to generate both electricity and thermal energy, which could be supplied to nearby households, agricultural operations, and small enterprises. Officials anticipate that the plant will create local jobs, reduce power shortages, and provide a reliable heat source for irrigation and processing units.
Local authorities indicated that the project will be implemented under a public‑private partnership, with funding to be sourced from state schemes and private investors. The first phase is slated to begin within the next twelve months, subject to clearances and land allocation.
Stakeholders emphasized that the plant aligns with broader regional development plans aimed at enhancing rural infrastructure and promoting sustainable energy use.
