Why include an adjective “divisive” for a PV based article? What does that have to do with PV from any angle? Thankfully the full article has removed the word.
I failed to understand use and meaning of word “Divisive” in the news above.
It only reflects hatred of the author which may be her personal sentiments and should be avoided in news article pertaining to solar policy. Alternately, author should clear her stand behind using such remarks.
Hi Agravat,
Thanks for your comment. For clarity, the writer did not use the word divisive, that was inserted by myself, as sub-editor, as a means of avoiding repeating Modi’s name in the headline, lead intro text and opening paragraph of the story, which is bad practice. It did not occur to me using “divisive” as an adjective would be questioned, in relation to Mr Modi, but the offending word has now been removed.
How to apply for solar rooftop residential project with govt subsidy..?
Where I can get the application form…?
Max Hall getting brownie points are you. First I thought divisive was a spelling mistake or poor English for decisive. Haha.
Such a great initiative by PM, need of the hr…
Avoid lame excuses of Divisive word usage.Criticism must be issue based n without mind fix on person..
Who would not go in for solar energy but it is unviable with high costs be it renting it or installing it .The Govt needs to look into subsidies first and make it cost effective
