World Famous Mysore
Palace, which attract lakhs of people every year, will shortly
generate power from footfalls. For the first of its kind in India,
innovative measure has been taken up by Palace Board to generate
power from footsteps and to connect the generated power to grid.
If every things goes as
per the plan by Deepavali major of the palace bulbs will be
illuminated by the power generated through footsteps.
Palace Board Deputy
Director TS Subramanyam said that every year 36 lakh people visit
Palace and about 7000 in week ends, the foot falls slabs placed will
be very helpful to generate power.
The power generating slabs
which will be waterproof will be placed in flooring. It will be in
the form of tiles which replaces flooring.
When anyone step into it

illuminate most of the bulbs in palace. By the initiative of this
programme, the electricity costs will come down to higher per cent at
