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 electricity.

HOW THIS SITUATION IS BEING RECTIFIED?

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.
