Project Characteristics and Results
Notable Community Participation
A multi-stakeholder approach of using unemployed youth, women?s groups, children and male volunteers were all used for dissemination, awareness and sensitivity on the use of energy sources. Local committees were set-up to sustain the process and use of technologies in villages. Meetings were regularly held and 10-15% contributions were encouraged from the communities. Many people approached the NGO to adopt and implement the same systems in their villages. This evoked lot of interest in the areas.
Capacity - Building Component
