| Women as solar power
entrepreneurs |
 An
initiative is underway to empower the women of the Sunderbans
as entrepreneurs of solar power. This pilot project provides
training and capacity building on several techno-commercial
aspects of solar power to the Sunderbans women. This enables
them to take solar PV-based services to remote and interior
villages, and repair and maintain existing products and
systems. Thusfar, this project has helped 6 women become
solar entrepreneurs, engaged in a variety of businesses,
such as charging and renting of solar lanterns on daily
basis, designing and assembling small electronic items,
and repairing solar home systems.
