In an effort to provide a clean and affordable lighting solution to rural India, our “Light a Home” project was born. The program uses elements of frugal innovation (the process of reducing the complexity and cost of a good and it’s production) and aims to provide clean and affordable lighting to 360 million people in India living in 74 million rural households. These houses have no access to electricity. SSRDP provides high-quality and cost-effective solar lanterns, home lighting systems and solar cookers, distributed through solar centers across India. These centers are operated and managed by local ‘Yuvacharyas’ trained specifically for the initiative.
