Atom Solar provides renewable energy solutions like solar water pumps to address issues faced by farmers in India. Poor farmers with small land holdings are typically dependent on single annual crops due to lack of irrigation. This document discusses several Atom Solar projects that have helped farmers by providing solar pumps, allowing multiple crop yields and reducing migration. It also highlights home lighting projects that have electrified villages for the first time in 70 years. Atom Solar works with NGOs and ensures benefits reach beneficiaries through site visits and post-installation confirmation.

Your support could bring meaning into lives –
A step towards Social Transformation
Despite availability of water sources like streams and wells, a majority of farmers are dependent on
rain-fed farming.
Agriculture contributes only 15% of our GDP, but provides a direct livelihood for 52% of our
population, and indirectly to 73%.
Poor or non available electric supply and high operational costs of diesel pumps are the reason for
a single crop produced per year.
High labour costs (hiring) and reduction of family members (migration) makes farming nonviable.
Poor farmers with small land holdings who cannot even afford quality seeds, cannot even dream
of using technology to increase the yield for reaping multiple crops.
Women have to walk 500 m to 6 km one way to fetch a pot load of water on difficult terrain
Is it then a surprise that there is large
scale migration to towns and cities,
even if to live amidst squalor &
unhygienic conditions, leaving behind
beautifully landscaped, clean
environments of their villages??
How can we use technology to
create sustainable conditions for the
return of migrants and stem further
migration from villages?

Atom Solar Water Pumping Solution
How It Works
Easy to install & zero
maintenance cost.
Accelerated depreciation:
(80% in year one & 20% in
year two)
A boon to poor farmers with
small land holdings for
sustainable agriculture &
village drinking water
schemes
Product warranty of 10 years
on solar panels and
performance warranty for 25
years
3 years of drought conditions
have led to the building of
lakhs of farm ponds – how
will they irrigate their fields
now?

CSR project of amphenol interconnect, @ pabal, rajgurunagar,
Maharashtra
At Pabal, near
Rajgurunagar,
Pune, the
Janasangam
Kendra takes
care of children
who are poor,
homeless or
orphans. The caretaker and
his family (Shri
Ghare) are
farmers who have
quit farming as
unviable
Of the 1 acre plot,
20 guntas was
earlier a farmland
dried up due to
non availability of
facility to irrigate
the land from
existing well
For the past 3
years, diesel &
maintenance costs
were daunting.
Hence Mr. Ghare
had stopped
farming
Post installation of
the solar water
pumping system,
Shri Ghare has
been able to farm
on 20 guntas of
land.
The entire landscape
is now different -
with onions,
tomatoes and
brinjals planted by
Shri Ghare.

Community of 600 families.
The women of Dengachimet
had to carry water in pots
and vessels on their heads for
over a distance of 1000m,
uphill.
The existing diesel pump was
unaffordable to operate by the
villagers - thereby leaving the
existing water tank located in the
middle of the village with out water.

Visible Benefits of a central storage tank for water near their home.
Heavy pot loads carried by women weighing approx. 25 kgs – a toll on the health of
women, now a thing of the past.
Time spent approx. 1.5 hour per round per person to fetch water - now reduced to 10
mins.
Concerns pertaining to health issues of women addressed.
Time now productively spent with children and in the fields to support farming.
Post Installation

Positive Impact
2 km of difficult terrain, red mud roads
& a steep incline to reach the well now
of the past.

HNIs’ & Corporate folks:
from darkness to light
Despite tall claims of the government about electrification for villages, there
are several villages / wadas within 70 kms of Pune & Nashik without electricity.
MSEDCL proudly states that villages receiving less than 1513 hours of electricity
per year have a different rate than those with > 1513 hours of electricity. i.e. 4
hours per day.
Dnyanupur,Andhalegaon (grampanchayat) , is a case study in this presentation
where villagers have seen light in their home after 3 generations (70 years).
Dear HNIs’ & Corporate Members, can we bring light in their homes & lives?
A mere Rs 125000 (incl. transportation & installation) would light up10
homes with 2 LED (4W) bulbs, a table fan and 2 USB ports for mobile
charging with a backup of 6 to 8 hours!

the basic facilities.
These villages would be visited by your nominee or we can send the real life
photographs of the place or coordinates on Google Earth.
For the various solutions, the pricing for the unit items would be pre approved
by your team.
The P.O. on Atom Solar can be placed for the sites approved by your CSR team.
Post deployment of the solar solution, your nominee can visit and confirm the
installation & commissioning.
** Any other suggestions/recommendations are welcome
