Micro
Hydro Power
Due to absence
of electricity in the area, the populations have to utilize
kerosene as their main source of lighting and wood as their main
source of energy for cooking, heating and baking. This involves
health hazards, is enormously time consumption, and lead to
environmental degradation. Electricity will contribute towards
decreasing each of these disadvantages.
The essence of
this program has been initiating a number of micro hydropower
units, which are paid for and owned by the community. Attached
to these power units are small scale agro processing factories,
which enable the processing of agricultural products and help to
upgrade the living conditions of the people. In addition to
this, they help in generating employment opportunities for the
landless people in the area.
The target area
is identified based on the demand and requirements of the
community for electricity. As rural communities are more
agricultural oriented, it is quite feasible to encourage the
villagers to invest in a small factory which would process the
agricultural products produced in the village. The farmers will
produce vegetables, crops and fruits and send the surplus of
their products to the factory for processing. If not all village
members are in a position to do this, a number of individuals
may carry out the investment.
