The document describes a pilot project to bring solar electrification to rural villages in Jawadhu Hills, Tamil Nadu, India. It discusses meetings with partner organization DHAN Foundation to plan the project and demonstrations of solar home systems to villagers. Villagers currently rely on kerosene for lighting and frequent blackouts from the electric grid. They express interest in adding lights and appliances to the solar systems. The project aims to install systems in 100 homes in its first phase and expand across India in partnership with local organizations.

The Survey has been sponsored by a solar energy solutions company Urja Unlimited for exploring development deficit in the availability of electricity for development of basic amenities such as housing, drinking water, sanitary toilets etc. and critical linkages like lightings on roads, schools, banks, markets etc. It also intends to identify artisanal income generating activities for villagers.
Sustainable Energy Principles And Practice December 2018Martin Scherfler
Sustainable Energy Principles & Practice is an initiative using Auroville and its outstanding experience in human unity & sustainable living as a platform for the learning and personal growth of students from around the world.
A learning-in-action program, it connects core human values with system thinking and hands-on work experience by introducing participants to local and global energy issues, policies and by exploring possible interventions that contributed to addressing global climate change and local issues of energy poverty and livelihood. The program is based on the 3H approach that nurtures hands (skills), head (competencies) and heart (inner capacities) of all participants. 13 students participated in this 10-day program held in December 2018 at Auroville International Township in Tamil Nadu, India.

Illuminating the Nights in Rural CommunitiesIJERA Editor
Electric power supply in many cities in developing countries is erratic and can only be described as non-existent
in the rural areas. Kerosene lantern, the main source of illuminating the night is associated with obnoxious
fumes production and more especially the kerosene fuel is scarce to find. Rural dwellers who cannot afford the
globed kerosene lanterns either use the locally fabricated globeless kerosene lanterns, ―atunja‖ or log fire. Log
fire is associated with deforestation and desert encroachment. A solar lantern has been designed and built for
illuminating the nights in rural communities. Battery and LED are part of the components used and it is
recommended that appropriate safety measures are put in place not only in use but also in their disposal.
Village Transformation with Renewable Energy - Yuva Rural Association An Emerging Option for Rural Electrification YRA field staff campaigned to create awareness about the project interventions as viable alternative for providing electricity. As part of community mobilization, several meetings were held with villagers to discuss the issues involved and convince them to participate in the process. Overall aim is to ensure energy security, generate livelihood opportunities and stimulate development through improving energy access. The project is also intended to serve as a model for replicating it in close to around 600 villages all over the district.

Concept of Smart Village and it's Impact on Rurbanizationijtsrd
According to census 2011 data, 69% of rural population or 833 million people lived in rural areas, against 31% or 377.1 million people in urban people thats why very huge importance to smart village in India. India is a country dominated by villages. So that developing India it must to develop villages first, because of lack of communication problem in villages they do not have central communication system. Smart Village is a concept adopted by national, state and local governments of India, as an initiative focused on holistic rural development, derived from Mahatma Gandhis vision of Adarsh Gram(Ideal Village) and Swaraj (Self Reliance) Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Samsad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) on 11 October 2014, Gandhis birthday, in addition to Smart Cities" and "Digital India", as a development programme for India. The Parliamentarians Model Village Scheme main goal is for each Member of Parliament and Minister to adopt a rural village and develop it into a model by 2019.

Scenario of Rural Electrification in India- Challenges and ImpactIJERA Editor
In this paper, the present scenario of rural electrification in India is taken into account. Basically, the electrification in this country is facing a lot of problem and is a growing matter of concern for all. The development in production is not reaching the one who need them. Also taking into picture the present sources of energy it is difficult to make the electricity available to the people belonging to rural areas who don’t have much source of income. To overcome this drawback we can utilise renewable sources of energy which is easily available and accessible. Also harvesting this will not cost much except the initial cost of setting up the device to utilise this type of energy. Many projects have been initiated by the government of India to provide subsidy and equipments like solar lantern and solar cooker etc. to the rural population but this didn’t turn out to be effective as the follow could not be done by the people to maintain the devices. This can be overcome by implementing off-grid projects which can be initiated at small levels so that people don’t have burden to maintain them and it even don’t have any adverse effect to environment or society.

The path was steep and slippery, at places…

A typical hut in the hamlet. There are no windows - for protection from sunlight and heat, by day, and wild animals, by night.

28. Sangeetha displays the naked kerosene lamp, which they use for lighting. It is inefficient, sooty and harmful for health.
Watery eyes, blackened nostrils and smoke-filled homes are the symptoms. Pulmonary respiratory disease is common.

29. Solar energy has been tried by some families in the past, but it has failed.
Something as simple as a faulty switch results in the technology/product falling into disuse, just after 3 months.

The villagers want to know if they can add more lamps to the system.

The lighting that a solar home system provides primarily impacts children (for education) and women (healthier air quality).

Mobile phones improve social connectedness as well as access to the sporadic daily wages job market.

35. The villagers have a lot of questions. The men are keen to have a television. A radio, for cinema songs, is simply not enough!

On average, a family spends Rs 200 to Rs 300 on kerosene, Rs 50 for transportation and
Rs 100 for mobile charging, per month. The solar home system is paid back in weekly installments of Rs 100 over a year.

37. The zeroPoverty Solar Home System floods the dark interior of Chinnamma’s and Sangeetha’s hut with light.
International rural electrification standards recommend 200 lumens. zeroPoverty offers 300 lumens of light.

A brighter home is a cleaner home and a healthier home.

39. The difference between the kerosene lamp and the light from zeroPoverty’s Solar Home System is like day and night!

41. Learning & Feedback from Field Trip
• Strategic alignment in terms of vision and mission with partner NGOs is critical.
• Collaboration requires a strong trust base.
• Remote off-grid areas can be hard to reach.
• In some cases, there has been experience with solar technology - however,
products have failed for very simple reasons; rural folk are helpless without support.
• Maintenance-free technology is required. "Top-up" lead-acid batteries are not cared
for simply because "distilled water“ is an unknown concept for rural consumers!
• Each LED lamp provides 10 times as much light as a naked kerosene lamp.
• Women seemed more enthusiastic than men on the impact of lighting in the hut.
• Men were keener on the possibility of having a TV - radio was simply not good enough!
• There is a keen sense of enterprise as well as a very high level of local ingenuity & creativity.
• There seemed to be an un-articulated demand for more lamps.
"Can we add additional bulbs to the system?“
• There was also an eagerness to negotiate, which indicates a clear market pull.
"Can we pay back in two years instead of in one year“
• Concern was voiced if the solar home system will be made redundant when the government
finally provides grid-based electricity; or if grid-electrification will pass them by if they
independently opted for solar electrification instead.
• There is a democratic decision-making process within the community.
