Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s Kunni Deori featured in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Mann Ki Baat – radio programme broadcast on Sunday. Modi higlighted Kunni’s innovations using solar energy.
“Kunni Deori, a daughter from Odisha, is making solar energy a medium of employment for her as well as for other women,” the PM said.
Kunni lives in Kardapal village of Keonjhar district. She trains tribal women to spin silk on a solar-powered reeling machine. Due to the Solar Machine, these tribal women do not have to bear the burden of electricity bill, and they are earning income, Modi added.
“This is the very boon of Sun God’s solar energy. The more the boon and the blessings spread, the better it is. Therefore, I urge you to join this and add others too.”
