Indian solar brand Goldi Solar, in line with its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has partnered with the Committee of Asafwala War Memorial in Fazilka, Punjab to equip this historic war memorial with solar power. The sacred war memorial and museum is located near the Indo-Pak border.

The inauguration was attended by eminent dignitaries such as Narinderpal Singh Sawna, MLA Fazilka, Senu Duggal (IAS), District Collector, Fazilka, Sandeep Gilhotra, President of the Saheed Ki Samadhi Committee, and other distinguished dignitaries.

Capt. Ishver Dholakiya, Founder & Managing Director of Goldi Solar, stated, "We are honoured to dedicate this project to the brave soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives for our country. The installation of solar panels at the Asafwala War Memorial symbolises our gratitude for their sacrifice. We hope this project will inspire more people to adopt clean energy solutions to become carbon neutral. Our vision is to bring sustainable energy solutions in creating a better future for humanity".

Sandeep Gilhotra, President of The Saheed Ki Samadhi Committee, expressed his appreciation for this initiative taken by Goldi Solar. "The Shaheedon Ki Samadhi Committee has been preserving this magnificent war memorial since 1972, which is home to the ashes of 82 jawans of the 4-Jat Regiment. This initiative will make this war memorial energy independent and save on electricity expenditures for atleast the next 25-30 years,” he said.

Recently, Goldi Solar joined forces as an execution partner with Shree Ramkrishna Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF) for the solarisation of Dudhala, a village in Gujarat, to empower 350 families with free electricity.

Under the leadership of SRKKF, Goldi is in the process of executing the project of providing solar power plants in the houses of 750 martyrs, the unsung heroes of India.
