The award was received by Aman Singh, Principal Secretary in Chhattisgarh's energy department, at the Renewable Energy Global Investors' Meet (RE-Invest) here.
"Chhattisgarh has been doing commendable work in the renewable energy sector. We are generating 45-MW of off grid solar power and 200-MW through rice husk," Singh told PTI after receiving the award.
The state was selected for the award on the basis of criteria fixed by the 13th Finance Commission.
Singh said that solar power was being used in 600 primary health centres, 100 community health centres, 350 police stations, 1,800 tribal hostels, 27 collectorates and 1,700 villages of the state.
