To imagine life without electricity is almost impossible today. And yet, the challenge India faces with respect to electricity is formidable. About 300 million people lack electricity, while an additional 100 million have less than 4 hours of electricity per day, and possibly several million more suffer from an unreliable power supply. Electricity, which we city dwellers consider a necessity, is a luxury for a huge segment of the rural population in India.
As per the data in inforgraphics, India has been considered to have the largest un-electrified population in the world. On 29th April 2018, the Modi government announced 100% electrification of all inhabited villages in India. However, electrification of villages does not translate into electrification of households. According to the definition by the Union Power Ministry, a village is said to be electrified if at least 10% of the households in it have power connections. Hence, in spite of this landmark announcement made by the government, data show that there are still 31 million households without electricity.
Can something be done about it?
Absolutely! Solar power generation is the answer to bring about this much-needed change in our society. And through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), solar energy can now reach every nook and cranny of India.

One might assume that solar power projects come under the Environmental sector alone. To clear this misconception, here are some examples of CSR solar projects carried out by us under the various thematic areas mentioned in the figure.
