Loyola College, Williamnagar in Meghalaya’s East Garo hills has set a benchmark for itself by becoming the first fully solar-powered institution in the state, reported Northeasttoday.

A 15-MV solar power project was installed in the administrative block of the college during February this year.

This solar power project became a need for the college because of frequent power cuts, voltage fluctuation and lightning had damaged most of the electronics good at the college.
