Undoubtedly, India has a lot of rural in it !
And so key to India's development is ensuring growth for the millions that comprise the rural community - growth that is sustainable, and can provide livelihood for time to come, in large numbers is only possible with energy security. Urja Unlimited works with the rural poor, to build clean energy based livelihood models. Our model is simple - we work with people to improve their lives, and help provide them with livelihood and incomes that come with their efforts to educate others about the benefits of using renewables.
Our rural off grid solutions can help solve a myriad of problems - and can be applied in several ways that can benefit one household, or a cluster of households, or village community as a whole.
We believe that there is no quick fix to the problem and no one way - but there exist solutions that can be applied scientifically and systematically, and then there is a model that can solve the challenge. At Urja Unlimited, we have applied ourselves to the multiple models, that we believe exist, to rural energy space, and demostrated that there is scope for multiple solutions to co exist. Our solutions are currently centered around solar renewables. However, we remain open to other technologies and how they can blend with our rural off grid solutions.
As a program, we focus on :
We have successfully provided interventions in over 80 villages in Central India, and are looking forward to expanding this to 300 villages within the current financial year.
