Gram Panchayat Padali, in Ghansawangi taluka, Jalna district, has invited bids for the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a 6/7-metre solar street light at Ambedkar Nagar (आंबेडकर नगर), a settlement area within the village.
Why named settlements get individually tendered lights
In Maharashtra's rural lighting programmes, gram panchayats often tender individual or small-batch solar lights for specific named wastis or nagars within a village rather than for the village as a whole, since different pockets reach adequate lighting coverage at different times depending on when each area's own development fund cycle comes up.
Reading the 6/7-metre specification
A 6/7-metre pole height sits at the standard end for a rural internal-lane solar street light — tall enough to give reasonable spread over a lane width without needing the panel and battery capacity a taller high mast would demand.
Marathwada context
Jalna district has seen a steady run of similar named-settlement solar lighting tenders through 2026, echoing the pattern already visible in this week's Parbhani and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar tenders — smaller, targeted awards for specific wastis rather than one large village-wide contract.
