Members of the Energy Swaraj Foundation gathered at Rajghat in New Delhi on 13 May 2026 to launch the Bharat Climate Satyagraha Yatra, a 100-day nationwide campaign spearheaded by climate advocate Prof. Chetan Singh Solanki, known as the Solar Man of India.
The Energy Swaraj Foundation mobilised supporters at Rajghat to initiate the Bharat Climate Satyagraha Yatra, framing climate action as a grassroots movement aligned with India's independence legacy.
Prof. Chetan Singh Solanki, a leading renewable energy researcher and advocate, leads the Bharat Climate Satyagraha Yatra to mobilise public participation in India's clean energy transition.
The Satyagraha framework—rooted in non-violent resistance—is repurposed for climate action, invoking Mahatma Gandhi's legacy at Rajghat to emphasise collective responsibility for environmental sustainability.
The 100-day Bharat Climate Satyagraha Yatra commenced on 13 May 2026, aiming to raise awareness about renewable energy adoption and sustainable development across India's states and districts.
The movement emphasises renewable energy independence and energy sovereignty as pathways to meet India's climate commitments and reduce carbon emissions by 2030.
Citizens, environmental organisations and policy advocates gathered to pledge support for the Bharat Climate Satyagraha Yatra, signalling grassroots backing for climate action initiatives.
The Bharat Climate Satyagraha Yatra will traverse multiple regions over 100 days, engaging communities on solar adoption, energy efficiency and local climate resilience strategies.
