Eastman Auto and Power to equip Mewat’s school with solar energy *
Gurgaon: Eastman Auto and Power has taken the initiative to equip 100 government schools with solar energy in line with the state government’s Mhara Gaon Jagmag Gaon project.
It has started with a government primary school in remote Mewat district of Raipur. We have chosen Mewat’s Raipur village to enhance education system. The village only has a primary school and has been lacking basic amenities. We want to provide students a congenial environment where students will not face warm atmosphere in summer and chilli weather in winter, said Saurabh Srivastav, president, marketing and product strategy of the company.
A full solar structure consisting of solar panels, PCU and batteries will be installed at the school completely free of cost. About 15,000 students are expected to be sensitised about the benefits of solar energy through this project. Solar energy is the future of India’s energy roadmap. The initiative will provide schools with a sustainable and cost-effective solution for resolving electricity woes,” Srivastava added.
‘Mhara Gaon Jagmag Gaon’ focuses on generating renewable energy by installing solar panels on roof tops.
