This document summarizes the speaker's experience introducing solar home systems and installment payment plans in Bangladesh to provide affordable renewable energy access to rural communities since 1996. Key points include:
- The speaker has 35 years experience finding market-based solutions to social and economic problems in Bangladesh.
- Over 2.8 million solar home systems have been installed in rural areas so far, powering over 20 million people and 100 MW of electricity.
- The goal is to install 7.5 million more systems by 2020 to power 75 million people, creating over 100,000 green jobs.
- Solar energy is powering schools, clinics, phones and rural businesses, improving lives while reducing indoor pollution.
- Training local technicians and entrepreneurs
The document discusses plans to expand renewable energy, particularly solar power, in Bangladesh to empower more of the population and create green jobs. The goals are to install 7.5 million solar home systems by 2020, expand solar power to urban areas, use solar for irrigation pumps and street lighting, and create 100,000 green jobs, especially for women. Solar power has already been installed for 2 million homes in rural Bangladesh, benefiting over 2 crore people and creating over 60,000 jobs.
The document proposes creating clean and low-cost energy solutions like solar, wind, and biogas for remote communities so that each home can have access to energy to help people lead better lives, with the goal of contributing to one's country without being afraid of being denied and pursuing dreams.
The document summarizes Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new "SAHAJ BIJLI HAR GHAR YOJANA" scheme launched on September 25th, 2017 to provide electricity to approximately 5 crore households in India that currently do not have access. The government has allocated 16,000 crore rupees for the initiative, which will utilize solar energy and convert it to electrical energy through production, transmission, execution and connection steps. Public involvement is needed to make the scheme successful by raising awareness among people.
This document discusses India's groundwater and energy nexus and proposes a solution. It notes that groundwater irrigation now supports most of Indian agriculture through millions of private wells, but this has led to depleted aquifers and high electricity subsidies. It proposes a smart solar pump promotion strategy that creates irrigation service providers in eastern India and treats solar power as a cash crop through buyback programs in western India. This strategy would solve problems of high subsidies, unreliable power supply, groundwater depletion incentives, rising diesel costs, and carbon emissions from the current system.

Don Bosco schools in Mumbai plan to increase their solar power capacity to reduce coal usage and become more environmentally sustainable. They currently have 160KW of solar power and will add another 100KW by the end of March, bringing their total solar capacity to 260KW. This will help lower their electricity costs and reduce their carbon footprint. Experts say that increasing solar power is a good long-term solution to environmental problems. The schools hope to achieve "zero energy" status within the next two years by relying more on solar and less on power from the grid.
Solar power's impact on rural exodus June 02 2014Sunipod Solar
Rural populations are migrating to cities in search of opportunities, putting pressure on urban infrastructure. Solar power can help reverse this trend by powering rural villages and improving quality of life through access to education, healthcare, jobs, and agriculture. Solar microgrids allow powering remote villages easily using available land. This can reduce rural-urban migration by bringing dignity and better standards of living back to villages through lighting, education tools, medical clinics, local industries like mills, and boosting crop yields with water pumps. The key is utilizing solar energy's potential to decentralize development opportunities.
Suraj Choudhury presents his vision and business plan for providing solar energy solutions in remote areas of Assam, India through his company M/S Suraj Solar Enterprise. He identifies potential areas like riverbank villages, Bhutan foothills, and remote villages that currently lack electricity. Choudhury notes the poor living conditions and lack of amenities in these areas. He discusses challenges like villagers' financial constraints and distrust after previous failed solar projects. However, he sees opportunities to provide affordable installment plans and improve on previous work by offering long-term service.
This document proposes a new approach called "Solar Forward" to increase access to renewable energy for communities living in poverty. It describes solar energy kits at different price points and innovative financial models like "Pay Forward" to distribute the kits. People who receive a kit must pay $1 each time they use it and eventually donate a kit to someone else. Gamification elements are added to encourage more donations. The goal is to empower communities by making them active participants rather than passive recipients of aid. Partnerships with NGOs and companies are sought to test these models in other areas and scale up the distribution of solar energy.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
3. We cannot expect any real
development in our society if our
villages still reside in dark. A
modern economy comes into
existence with electricity. But, as
per reports by World Bank, it has
been deduced that 200 million
people in India still live devoid of
5. With more than 6 lakh villages
present in India, supplying electricity
to each and every remote region was
no small feat. But NGO Foundations
in their collaboration with government
are filling the gaps by introducing
clean & renewable energy in rural.
7. PROJECT CHIRAG
This was the initiative by HR college
which was started to bring
electricity across every city and
town of Maharashtra. In this, each
household was provided with two
solar lightning units for their daily
use.
8. LITER OF LIGHT
This global organization, which now
operates in India as well produced
an innovative concept of making
solar bottles with the help of local
craftsmen and installing them in
every household.
9. GREENPEACE INDIA
In partnership with NGO
Foundations like BASIX & CEED,
brought light to Dharnai village in
Bihar where people lived without it
for 30 years. 400 households were
solar-powered for 24/7.
