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.

Stepping up its own efforts for a sustainable future, India is making it very clear that world needs to do much more than what they are currently committed to doing. #GreenIndia

An IIT-B engineer dedicated to raising awareness on clean transportation, Sushil Reddy built a solar-powered e-cycle that earned him a Guiness World Record.

Hailed as the perfect alternative to non-renewable energy sources, thermal energy is considered to be even better than solar energy.

Besides cutting energy imports and carbon emissions, this step can also double farmer incomes by 2022!

Karnataka, fulfills an impressive amount of state energy requirements through renewable sources.
