One out of every five people around the world without access to electric power lives in India. Our rural electrification program is an interim solution to a larger, more complicated problem. With so many rural homes without the benefit of dependable electricity, children are not only constrained in their studies but also susceptible to lower respiratory infections and damaged eyesight due to the smoke from kerosene lamps and dim lighting.

Our Vidyadeep initiative provides solar operated lamps to students in rural communities so they aren’t held back by their circumstances.
