renewable energy

Madhu Vajrakarur, a 23-year-old electrical engineering student from Andhra Pradesh has built a two-in-one wind turbine that can generate electricity and clean drinking water.

Khuzama village in Nagaland is a little greener and more sustainable thanks to the efforts of its students who set up a mini hydropower plant.

So far, they have generated enough electricity to light-up LED table lamps and calculators.

Think solar power is zero-emission? Prof D Chandrasekharam of IIT Hyderabad says it’s far from it!

Maharashtra’s first private housing complex with this facility, Shah Complex IV has 3 EV charging stations powered by solar energy. #LiveGreen #RenewableEnergy

India's long coastline has many estuaries and gulfs that provide ample opportunities to harness this renewable energy. So these innovative turbines may one day power thousands of homes! #IIT #Innovation #RenewableEnergy

India has earned itself the title of being the fastest developing solar power industry in the world, while also boasting of being the lowest cost producer of solar power in the world.

Way back in 1996, a farmer won the panchayat elections and took a bank loan to set up a community windmill. Today, this panchayat is not just free of any dependence on the govt. for its power needs, it has also ensured drinking water and housing for all its residents!

Recently, I went on a field trip to Tumakuru with the SELCO foundation, an NGO which is bringing solar energy to the various rural corners of India. Here's what I learnt.

It is reported that India’s largest power generation equipment manufacturer will be designing a central monitoring system to support the objective of this ambitious project.
