The government on Friday said that it has distributed 8 crore LED bulbs in a year across 125 cities across India under UJALA (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All) scheme. Notably, this has helped reduce 23,000 tonnes of daily CO2 emission and save 2.84 crore kWh energy daily which can light over 20 lakh homes for a year.
