 It’s half past eight in a tiny village called Neeralakatti, 15 km from Dharwad where Mangala is sitting at home, busy grading farm-picked brinjals as she has to send the vegetables to the market early next day.Kamalavva is preparing dinner while her children are completing their homework. Although the village suffers from intermittent electricity supply, villagers don’t seem disturbed by this problem as they carrying on their daily activities using solar lamps installed in their homes. Solar energy has helped light up lives of 80 homes in this village. |
