Dear sir

The study reveals that one rural house in our Jharkhan state may require ten to 15 lamps to meet lighting requirement and hence it is suggested that one power pack of at least 150 watt must be designed and intelligent action for energy management must be incorporated in the system.

I hope a reputed agency like yours can develop such home lighting system and can give a cost effective solution to rural masses specially in the mountainous area where grid network is not possible

Great idea and …

that is an example of what I would call appropriate technology. Something people want can can actually use.

Probably with large scale manufacture, those lamps could become even cheaper and reach more people, light up many more villages.

This is only a very small example of the progress that can be made with rural electrification! Think of the value that local farmers can add to their negotiations if they had a cell phone to get true values for their agricultural products – I have heard/read of stores where the villages standard of living virtually triples with access to power to re-charge cell phones – such a little cost for such a great benefit!!!
