SOLAR FOR CSR

Billions of people around the India lack even the most basic services, from electricity to clean water. More than a third of the world's people live without access to electricity. The arrival of dusk often brings darkness to lives, education & livelihoods.

Millions of homes in India & around the world are left to the mercy of dim light from dangerous, polluting & expensive-to-use kerosene oil lamps. Equally, even larger millions have little or erratic power. The growing energy crisis heralds the urgent need for novel solutions. Can Disruptive Technology help cut through the mire of age old problems? Can Renewable Energy light a path to a new dawn? Can we deliver this through a Sustainable Corporate Venture?

Virgin Solar with the vision of “Empowering lives through innovative products”, beginning with the mission to help “Removal of Darkness” from homes without light

Solar Powered by CSR

India, widely scattered in villages and hamlets has peculiar problems. While the bigger solar plants can take care of the needs in the organised colonies or clusters, it is the far flung areas, not covered by the conventional grid, which need special attention. It is in this area that the government efforts will need to be augmented by well-meaning NGOs and the Corporate houses by adopting certain areas under the CSR regime.
