Introduction ToThe Project
Schneider, a leading manufacturer of electrical and electronic products, is looking to support an
entrepreneurship development programme, in the field of clean energy. The aim of the programme
is two-fold:
 Create sustainable livelihoods for young men and women in rural communities
 Increase the awareness and usage of cleaner sources
of energy (eg: solar lamps, solar cookers, etc) in the
same communities
The programme should involve the following components:
1. Mobilise village youth/women to become village
entrepreneurs. The concentration for this project is not
random learners, but those who have backgrounds in business
execution (directly or indirectly) or are freshers with high
passion to make business their sole career option.
2. Provide training to the mobilised group on
entrepreneurship: setting up a business, managing funds,
engaging customers etc
3. There are three models in the curriculum based on the
categories of entrepreneurs we are seeking. These are flexible
models where maximum attendance in the training can be
ensured.
4. The entrepreneurs should be involved in championing the
use of renewable energy products such as solar lamps, solar
cookers, solar off-grids, etc and thereby create behaviour
change to adopt cleaner energy for household use (pumping
water, lighting houses, cooking etc) rather than other sources
(eg: firewood, biomass, etc)
5.They will stock and distribute affordable, easy-to-use
renewable energy products to the rural community in which
they reside.
6. Any other forward or backward market linkage support
that the applicant believes is critical to ensure sustainability
of the programme (eg: access to micro-credit, knowledge on market prices, transport of renewable
energy products, etc)
Providing skill training to the
mobilised youth/women in the
Repair and Maintenance of solar
energy products as well as the
products required to be
distributed- is the chief aim of the
project
The project is intended to create a
network of village entrepreneurs
who distribute the products, train
households on usage of these
products, and repair products
where required.

The Target Location And Prospect
The potential of solar energy as a renewable and reliable source of energy is extremely high in states
preferably in Maharashtra and Odisha. But the biggest problem in the country as it was in
Maharashtra, there is a gap between energy consumption and energy generation. "India has a great
potential for solar power and it is estimated so many times of the energy requirement which is about
5000 trillion kWh per year. The solar radiation incident over India is equal to 4–7 kWh per square
meter per day with an annual radiation ranging from 1200–2300 kWh per square meter. It has an
average of 250–300 clear sunny days and 2300–3200 hours of sun shine per year. India's electricity
needs can be met on a total land area of 3000 km2 which is equal to 0.1% of total land in the country.
There are a total of 14,400 MW capacity power projects based on new and renewable energy sources
are targeted to be installed in the next 5 years in the country. Of this target, the solar energy target is
7500 MW generation. The target locations here- Odisha and Maharashtra have two different
scenarios in respect to the market of solar energy. While in Odisha, the market is gradually building,
in Maharashtra, there is a steady market while has good scalability prospect.

9. 9 | P a g e
The following table showcases the state wise break up of Renewable Power to be achieved by the
2022 so that the cumulative achievement is 1,75,000 Megawatts. The solar power target for
Maharashtra is 11926 MW while for Orissa it is 2377 MW.

Bhubaneshwar (Orissa)
In Orissa, the demand for clean energy is consistently rising. This is because there is a growing
necessity for the state government to reduce the use of non-renewable energy. There are different
initiatives that the government is taking to reduce the consumption of coal which is currently 85%
to 65% by 2032. The central government "ambitious target of 175GW of clean energy capacity by
March 2022" is definitely a strong target but cities like Bhubaneshwar is working strongly towards
this goal - where they are mainly targeting the urban spaces to get into the habit of using solar energy
and hence the market is growing.
Lack of Electricity (Both Renewable and Non-Renewable Sources)
The growing need for renewable sources of energy has been felt in Orissa since 2013 though the
growth has not been much ensured mainly due to sensitization. The data imply that a large part of
India’s electrification and energy access is on paper. Based on a report, the central government has
covered electrification of 714 villages in 51 districts, including 8,566 households across six energy-
deficit states (Bihar, Jharkand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal).
**ACCESS REPORT
In the above report, Tier 0 here indicates the lowest level of energy access and in such ascending
order are the rest of the Tiers defined. It must be noted here that consumers in Orissa though having
electrical connection, are having a lower level of access to energy because of the rising cost of
electricity coming through non-renewable sources of energy.The growth of electrification of villages
in Orissa is comparatively poor than to West Bengal. In 2016, State Energy Minister himself stated
that "3,144 villages under Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana and 521 under Deendayal
Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) could not be electrified in12th plan period.Over

12. 12 | P a g e
400 villages each in Mayurbhanj, Rayagada and Koraput districts continued to be without electricity
after 69 years of Independence. Similarly, a sizeable number of villages in Kandhamal, (305),
Malkangiri (255), Kalahandi (227) and Angul district (221) are yet to be electrified."
**DDUGJY project report: data.gov.in
The above is a snapshot of the DDUGJY project taken up for the electrification of villages in Orissa
which has not been completed and going on a major backlog. The scope for solar energy in this
respect is hence very high and hence the market can also be explored when consumers both in Urban
and Rural spaces could understand the importance and economic benefits of clean sources of energy
and electricity.
The Census 2011 reveals that around 78 million or 31 per cent of Indian households use kerosene oil
to meet their lighting requirements, out of which 73 million are rural households. They use kerosene
–based lighting devices such as wick lamps and hurricane lanterns. Non-connected households or
households in non- electrified areas use kerosene lighting devices during the evening hours.It is
estimated that the average annual per household kerosene consumption for one kerosene lamp for
four hours a day is 60 liters on an average which is 5 liters per month per a household. If we calculate
the need of kerosene oil for lighting purpose of the 78 million household, the amount arrives at 4,680
million (4.68 billion).

13. 13 | P a g e
Pune (Maharashtra)
Among the topmost states moving fast towards renewable energy and its usage is Maharashtra where
there is a consistent market of renewable energy with a high growth prospect.The Energy minister
himself is aiming to make it a fuel efficient state with lower rates of power cutes in the state. The state
has a target of installing 14,400 MW of renewable energy, for which the state government target
is2019. The larger prospect as proposed by the state minister is to add 25,000MW solar capacity after
2021. Besides, Maharashtra has a history of working on highly skilled manpower to meet the
requirement of setting up the infrastructure. The government in that respect is looking for non-
government organisation or companies who could contribute in this sector.
In a span of 5 years, there is a great awareness generated regarding the development of solar energy
in the state of Maharashtra where the growing need and sustainable growth of the clean energy
market is well indicated.
The above graph shows the power generated (in Megawatts) through three financial year phases
namely 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15. The growth is a more than double than in 2012-13 and this
ensures the positive growth of the solar energy product and its market.

14. 14 | P a g e
Market for Clean Energy Products in Maharashtra
In Maharashtra there are already initiatives currently going on for the promotion of clean energy-
the major associations being with MEDA (Maharashtra Energy Development Agency- Govt. of
Maharashtra) and SECI(Solar Energy Corporation of India). The solar water pump market for
instance in Maharashtra has been on a steady growth due to intense government initiatives to
promote the use of solar pumps to lesson of petrol or diesel induced pumps. The Ministry of New and
Renewable energy (MNRE) and several state governments have already started involving solar
energy water pumps in Agriculture. State governments are getting the pumps from suppliers
approved by MNRE and distributing it to the farmers. Maharashtra is no exception to this lot. The
Maharashtragovernment has given a contract at least 10,000 solar pumps to be installed in the pilot
phase and initially only 6500 farmers had applied to the government and agreed to put up solar
pumps in their farms and benefit from the scheme. The next two years are expected to be eventful
and packed with high growth for solar pumps. States in conjunction with the MNRE are expected to
ramp up their purchase of solar pumps. MNRE, state government and EESL will explore other
procurement, financing and distributing models.
The above graph shows the installation of SPV pumps from 2010 –2016. The growth has been
from 228 pumps being installed from 2010 and respectively 228, 239, 239 and 251 in 2011,
2014, 2015 and 2016.

15. 15 | P a g e
The above graph showcases Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) Systems - Street lighting installed in, 2011,
2014, 2015 and 2016. In these five years, the total installation in lakhs is - 0.08, 0.08, 0.08 and 0.1
respectively. The street lighting systems are slowly picking up pace in the state, where urban spaces
are gradually coming under the ambit so that the state government could look for lower power cuts
within the state.
Conclusion on Area selection -
Orissa is fast developing state where the market for this kind of entrepreneurship
training is ideal. On the other hand, in Maharastra the market is established where
clean energy products are flowing in quite high, and the primary customer base is
already set. Entrepreneurs need to tap into the existing market and resources would be
there

Mobilization Strategies
1. Understanding The Genre of Beneficiaries
Based on our past experience it has been noticed that the entrepreneurship scope for individuals coming from
business backgrounds are very high. This is because they have a realistic knowledge about profit and loss
irrespective to whatever business they are involved into. This does not mean that new comers into the industry has
less chances of success but comparatively require lesser hand holding. The mobilization will hence focus on three
types of students with an intention that there are maximum number of conversion from learners to successful
entrepreneurs.
Business man learners who already have established business and
wants to explore the business prospect of solar energy
products
Business Associates those who are basically the future generation or
prospect of has a family lineage of business prospects,
and are intended to adding skill and money to their
business
Freshers Those who are new to business and are passionate to
make a career out of it
During the mobilization the mobilization stress should be in the
hierarchical order of Business man then business associate and
then fresher. The concentration is justified with the context
than those who are into some kind of business, they usually
show a higher conversion rate than before.
While mobilizing prospective learners for the program, the requirement of data involves details
of the category of beneficiaries involved here. This may include-
 Age of the beneficiary
 Types of trainees to be included
 The minimum education qualification involved
 The economic background of the beneficiary (BPL families or above or individual
economic status)

17. In case if we presume that the age of the beneficiary be between 18 to involving only people with
a minimum education qualification of class X pass-out (as the bench mark for literacy) then the
following steps can be taken for generating the source of the beneficiariesinvolved.
The following are the ways through which one can mobilize students from the area.
2. Field outreach with Surveys
Field outreach with Surveys to Get Data About Employed and Unemployed Youth and also who got
registration to do business around the area. The first step towards generating students for the
project is to conduct surveys to get the number of youth concentration in the area of intervention.
Such surveys has to be in areas close to the training centre- within a radius of 50 kms. Presence of
colleges and education institutes are an advantage here where a great amount of data can be
generated. It must be noted that since the mobilization has a larger concentration on the people
having interest in business but are still undecided. Since solar energy products related business are
pretty niche in the market, such business prospects can be appealing.
3. Accessing Information from Government/ Municipality Bodies
Municipalities / Panchayats are a great way to access information regarding the youth population
of a certain area. For urban areas, this information is easier to assess the future of the project.
Besides information regarding government projects related to youth empowerment can also be
located which may help mobilizers to get information regarding the enthusiasm of the students in
a certain area.
4. Source Generation Through Promotion
Another key way of getting students for the program is to promote it constantly through
different media platforms. The promotional material should specify the kind of applicants this
project seeks which in this case are business aligned people. These include promotions
through
 Posters
 Banners
 Promotion in local newspapers
 Social Media campaigns
 Promotion through tie ups with radio
 Doing community event with local business men

18. 5. Three Kinds of Learning Module
The classes has been segregated to three categories based on the availability of time and intent behind the
course. Moreover, high conversion rates is what the project aims at and hence we have made the course
modules accordingly.
Class Scheduled Beneficiary Category Justification
Weekday classes Freshers These classes are aimed for leaners who are
passionate about business prospects. Hence
giving them detailed product knowledge and
intense handholding opportunities are part of
the curriculum
Weekend Classes Business Associate These are learners who cannot make it during
weekdays. The curriculum is same as that of the
freshers
Basic 7 days’
Workshop
Business Man These learners go for the program – “enhance
marketing and sell of products.

Product Details
The Key products involved in this project for entrepreneurship training is- Solar
irrigation, Lighting, Streetlights and Solar rooftop.
Solar Irrigation Pump
A solar irrigation pump has a mini power house at its heart and consists of a calibrated
and matching solar array of modules – tuned with the equivalent power of pump for
that particular application. The solar water pumping system is capable of running all
types of electrical water pumps with applications varying from irrigation to household
demands. A typical solar water pumping system is known by the sum total of solar array
size that is required to run the attached pump. A 1000 Wp solar water pump is capable
of drawing and pumping approximately 40,000 litres of water per day from a source
that is up to 10 meters deep. This is sufficient to irrigate about 2 acres of land with
regular crops. A 1000 Wp solar water pump helps save up to Rs 45,000 when compared
to equivalent use of a diesel-operated pump over a year.
Price Range:Rs. 2 lacs – 7 lacs per system
Solar Household Lighting
A solar lamp also known as solar light or solar lantern, is a lighting system composed of
an LED lamp, solar panels, battery, charge controller and there may also be an inverter.
The lamp operates on electricity from batteries, charged through the use of solar
photovoltaic panel. Solar-powered household lighting can replace other light sources

23. like candles or kerosene lamps. Solar lamps have a lower operating cost than kerosene
lamps because renewable energy from the sun is free, unlike fuel. In addition, solar
lamps produce no indoor air pollution unlike kerosene lamps. However, solar lamps
generally have a higher initial cost, and are weather dependent.
Price Range:Rs. 3,000 - Rs. 15,000 per system
Solar Street Lighting
Solar street lights are raised light sources which are powered by photovoltaic panels
generally mounted on the lighting structure or integrated in the pole itself. The
photovoltaic panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED
lamp during the night. Solar street lights are independent of the utility grid. Hence, the
operation costs are minimized. Solar street lights require much less maintenance
compared to conventional street lights.
Since external wires are eliminated, risk of accidents are minimized. This is a non
polluting source of electricity and separate parts of solar system can be easily carried
to the remote areas. It allows the saving of energy and also cost.
Price Range: Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 30,000 per system
Solar Rooftops
A solar rooftop PV system, or rooftop photovoltaic power station, is a photovoltaic
system that has its electricity-generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a
residential or commercial building or structure. The various components of such a
system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, cables, solar inverters and
other electrical accessories. Rooftop mounted systems are small compared to ground-
mounted photovoltaic power stations with capacities in the megawatt range. Rooftop
PV systems on residential buildings typically feature a capacity of about 5 to 20
kilowatts (kW), while those mounted on commercial buildings often reach 100
kilowatts or more.
Price Range: 1 Lac – 50 Lac
Revolving Corpus
Through funding provided by The Schneider Foundation, SwitchON will establish and
manage a revolving fund with some internal / entrepreneur funding and funds from
Schneider Foundation. This fund will allow SwitchON to provide solar products to the
trained entrepreneurs on credit. The Trained entrepreneurs can purchase products
than their financial capability would allow thereby increasing their stock and
subsequent future sales. The trained entrepreneurs will make payments to the
revolving fund per a specific schedule allowing the funding to perpetuate. In addition
to managing the revolving fund and offering credit facilities, SwitchON is well
positioned to manage this project due to their extensive reach and prior experience
both with solar projects and revolving fund management.

24. Prospective Income Projection for a Entrepreneur
During the course, it is expected that there will be a fraction of students will drop out
during the course of the program, it is expected that from among the candidates who will
finish the program successfully - some will either setup a solar enterprise, or work as
marketing agent to solar companies or integrate solar sales or EPC work in their current
business. Hence will make a sustainable livelihood from sales of solar, in such a good
case scenario it is expected that an entrepreneur can earn in a range of amount of INR
4000/- to 10,000/- every month as commission or lead fee . Below table shows how a
entrepernur could earn by selling any of the following items without having to invest in
the product, but by only making a lead fee / commission from sales of a solar product.
