Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 9 October 2022 declared Modhera in Gujarat's Mehsana district as India's first 24x7 solar-powered village.
 
Addressing a rally, PM said, "Today, a new energy of development has been infused for Modhera, Mehsana & the whole of North Gujarat.

From electricity, water to road & rail. Many projects related to dairy, skill development & healthcare have been inaugurated & foundation stones have been laid today."
