Pavagada’s solar park is among India’s largest. Families who leased land say the promised permanent jobs have not materialised at the scale they were briefed.

Construction-phase contract work came; operations-phase crews are largely from outside. Women’s SHGs have asked for canteen and cycle-repair concessions.

The deputy commissioner’s office will publish a company-wise headcount within 15 days.
