The targets under the National Solar Mission envisaged
A. creating favourable conditions for solar manufacturing capability.
B. achieving 15 million square meters thermal collector area by 2022.
C. deploying 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas by 2022.
D. achieving the target of meeting at least 50% of household energy demand through solar power by 2022.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A and C only
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (part of NAPCC) set several targets. Two of the listed aims match its objectives correctly:
Creating favourable conditions for solar manufacturing capability is a stated mission objective — building domestic capacity to produce solar equipment.
Deploying 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas by 2022 is also an official target of the mission.
The target of 15 million square metres of thermal collector area is misstated — the mission aimed for 15 million sq m by 2017 and 20 million sq m by 2022, so the figure paired with 2022 here is not the correct match.
The claim of meeting at least 50% of household energy demand through solar power by 2022 is not a mission target at all; the mission's grid-connected solar goal was framed differently (100 GW by 2022 in the revised target), not as a 50% household share.
Hence only the solar-manufacturing and 20-million-rural-lighting aims are correct.
Takeaway: The genuine mission targets among these are fostering solar manufacturing and 20 million rural solar lighting systems.
