Nearly 100 homes in Uttar Pradesh's Sarvantara village have been electrified, thanks to an initiative by a student from the UK's prestigious Imperial College.
Clementine Chambon, a final year PhD student, has helped connect the homes with a mini eight-kWh solar energy grid via her social enterprise start-up company - Oorja - last month. The mini solar grid provides around 1,000 people with energy for affordable lighting, phone charging and fans to cool homes.
