How the transgender community can get the solar panel system
Transgender individuals must first register in order to take part in the free solar program. They can register and become eligible through the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER), which has been established by the Punjab government. Those who are interested should bring their necessary paperwork, including a valid national identity card and mobile phone number, to the closest PSER registration center.
The agent at the registration center will ask you a few questions, all of which must be answered accurately. Information on your assets, financial state, sources of income, and health will be gathered during the registration procedure. Transgender people will be contacted by SMS at the number they supply, which needs to be registered in their name if they qualify.
What are the eligibility criteria for transgender people?
To be eligible for the free solar program, transgender people must meet certain requirements. They must possess a current Punjab-issued national identity card that identifies them as transgender. Also, you have to use fewer than 200 units of power per month. According to Maryam Nawaz, solar systems will be provided in convenient installments to those who use 200–500 units.
Transgender individuals will receive a free solar system from the Punjabi government if all requirements are satisfied. PSER participants are also qualified for other programs, including as the Ramazan package, Kisan cards, electric motorcycles, and the green tractor plan.
