Project Rationale: Aja Ney is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites located in the Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS). It is a remote community of 34 households who have thus far been deprived of access to electric power. Due to conservation ( ... )
erations and Park regulations, it is unlikely that the community will be connected to the national electricity grid in the foreseeable future. Taking all factors into account, the most optimal way to provide the community with access to electricity, a basic human right, is to install and commission a standalone Solar Plant in their vicinity. This project will contribute to multiple Sustainable
