A modest initiative has been taken by BSNL to utilise solar power for the mobile towers which will be most suitable in rural areas and villages where the electricity has not even reached. In Alwar District of Rajasthan such solar-powered moblie towers have now been installed. The Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) which funds such rural and village projects has certificated the use of solar-powered towers. The towers are installed on contract with Vihaan Networks Ltd which has developed the new towers.
