The Solar Home Lighting project in villages of Rajasthan has been progressing well. We on behalf of the SED and on prospective beneficiaries’ behalf appeal to all of you who has supported our work and helped in lighting homes of poor rural people by donating money.
So far, we have installed 70 solar lighting systems at the homes of poor people in villages of Digod, Kasampura, Parlia, Nayagaon and Mundla of Kota district in Rajasthan. They are installed free of cost and collection of $ 5 per month from each beneficiaries has been started. Till date, we have collected $ 2050. This money was utlised to buy 12 more Soar Lighting Systems.
During the reporting period one training programme for 8 youths for providing training in repair and maintenance were organised in village Parlia of Kota district of Rajasthan. Presently people are having 7 to 10 hours light daily depending upon the number of bulbs used at a time. Meanwhile we have received complaints from 15 households for non–performing of devices and same were attended and rectified.
The SED through its GVK developed demonstration centre to step up our efforts to reach as many villagers as possible. We have identified 150 more beneficiaries from these five villages, that we can stall solar systems.
The SED staff and all the beneficiaries say thank you very much for your support and help in enlighten life of poor women & children in this desert region.
