a. Projects In queue
PROJECT ON ELECTRIFICATION OF JHARKHAND / BIHAR VILLAGES
Why This project ? As per 2001 Census, only 43.5 % of the rural households
has availability of electricity in whole India. For Bihar and Jharkhand. The
situation is more worse where almost 85 % of Villages are un-electrified or there
is no transformers /powers cable available. So, lets get together and and give ray
of light to our fellow Biharis and Jharkhandis.
O
bjective: The objective is aimed at providing a viable, suitable and an
alternative use of solar energy for electrification of villages in Bihar / Jharkhand.
The classification of user can range from household, agricultural industries such
as irrigation pumps, etc., service industries such as schools , dispensaries /
hospitals, hotels, shopkeepers and hawkers.
Harnessing solar power: As India is located in tropical zone, solar energy is
abundantly available most of years. Basically the energy from SUN can be used
in 2 forms.
· Solar thermal energy
Under this, equipments are used to convert sun energy into solar power.
Commonly known applications are solar hot water heat systems, solar air
heating systems, solar drying systems, solar desalination systems and
solar cooking systems etc.
· Solar photovoltaic
under this, using solar photovoltaic modules uses equipments to convert
sun energy in to electrical energy. The application of this can range from
powering one light to the whole village or city.
For the said project , in phase-1, we will concentrate on using solar photo voltaic
application of solar power. In this, we will be using solar energy in three viable
applications.
1. Solar lantern: It is a portable emergency light powered by sun energy.
There is a solar panel of 10W, which has to be kept in the sun and through
the cable plugged into the lantern. When the SUN is falling on the solar
module, current is produced and it then charges the battery in the solar
lantern. For a daily sun light charge, the light can be used for 4 hours
everyday. The lantern consists of 7W component fluorescent light, giving a
brightness of 350 lumens. When the light burns, it is possible to read and
write in a room size of 100Sq.Ft.
The life of the solar panel is about 20-25 years and the battery is 3 years
and the bulb is for 5 years. It is an easily affordable product for the home
and absolutely maintenance free.
Solar home / small premises lighting system:
You can have 2-light fitting and a small table fan powered by solar energy.
The 35W solar panel, can power this system, for every day sun light
charge for 2 hours. This product is very useful as emergency light for the
house and each light consist of 11 W CFL lamps. This will offer brightness
equivalent to 650 lumens. Again. There is no maintenance in this product.
Solar power emergency systems:
The solar power emergency system is basically for the urban /village
areas where there is frequent disruption of state electricity. You can have
solar power system to provide emergency lighting or fan load in a house
or shop or office or common area for apartments . They are much reliable
and cheaper to have than conventional portable generators.

All the above products, can be easily retrofitted in any rooftop - either on
asbestos roof / RCC roofing.
Vendors of Solar Power products:
There are lots of suppliers and vendors In India for the solar panels and other
solar system. I have contacted few of them and have technically as well as
commercially analyzed their products. Selection of vendors shall be done
based best and cheap products and have a recommendable reference list of
their products in India.
Estimated Budget:
1) For solar lanterns:
The estimated budget / cost for providing electricity by one solar lanterns
each to at least houses / shops in a villages will be about Rs. 70,000
including transportation and installation of the system.
2) For solar home / small premises lighting system:
The estimated budget / cost for providing electricity to one small premises
(Considering two nos. of rooms) plus one dispensary (considering one
room) in 1 (one) village will be about Rs. 80,000 including transportation and
installation of the system.
Supports available: Different supports are available from the Ministry of Non-
Conventional Energy Sources and Indian Renewable Energy Development
Agency for the use of solar energy products. These supports ranges form
Micro- Finance to subsidized price of different solar products.

ishery Project:: Under this project, a team of scholar from CIFE (Central
Institute Fishery Engineering will train the fisheries farmers of Bihar to culture
