solar lamps

Even with a comfortable life in the USA, the couple has made sure they are connected to their roots and ensure that they return to their village, every year.

A group of students from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology)- Bombay have initiated a project called 'Solar Urja Lamps' aimed to utilise clean energy that provides study lamps to rural students.

The project is called 'Oorja', and involves using unique solar LED lamps, which serve the dual purpose of imparting technical knowledge and entrepreneurship among the beneficiaries.

A 15-year-old Ahmedabad-based filmmaker, who loves Anurag Kashyap and dislikes maths, won the first prize in the Young Filmmaker category at the Film4Climate competition.

The women will be involved in making, packaging and marketing these lamps in remote villages with no electricity.

This village woman walks on a kuchcha road everyday to fetch water. She comes back home to cook on a mud chulha, with no electricity in the house. You can help her.

Electricity remains a dream for millions of Indians. And solar energy is fulfilling that dream. From houses in Uttar Pradesh, small hospitals in Tripura, to an engineering college in Chandigarh – this is how solar energy is changing lives across the country.

The famous weavers of Chanderi won't have to strain their eyes at night any more – the state has provided them with solar home lights that will help them in their weaving work on a daily basis.
