Bijli Ghar To Electrify Villages

In Remote Areas
India with all its financial and economic
success has been unable to bridge the
existing gap between the urban and rural
India. Rural India and interiors regions in the
heartland of India still struggle to have full
access to modern energy services. Electricity
cuts are rampant in metropolitan cities leave
alone small towns and villages. The ever
growing energy requirements of the country
and falling supply has meant that remote
areas have had no option but to embrace
darkness. However all this may soon change
as some innovative Indian companies are
coming up with various innovative solutions
to light up the Indian hinterland with
renewable energy sources.
