The move helped reduce over 130 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, equivalent to planting 6,500 trees per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apraava Energy, India’s leading integrated energy solutions provider, has impacted nearly 60,000 people from disadvantaged communities across the country through a five-year solar development program, the company said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In partnership with SELCO, Apraava implemented solar power initiatives in close to 40 villages across five states – Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana and Telangana. The move helped reduce over 130 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, equivalent to planting 6,500 trees per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The community interventions focused on enhancing safety through solar lighting in villages and schools, electrifying healthcare centres, creating jobs for differently-abled individuals and women, and improving access to quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Solar lighting installations have provided a sense of safety and security…Solar electrification in primary health centres has ensured uninterrupted functionality of essential facilities,” Apraava said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It added that solar-powered appliances like fridges and roti-rolling machines created employment for differently-abled people and women, while digital education kits improved the quality of learning in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“These interventions have not only focused on all-round community development but also helped reduce significant greenhouse emissions,” said Priyesh Modi, head of corporate social responsibility at Apraava Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Apraava remains committed to working with the communities to address their needs and contribute to building a sustainable future for India,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
