Being world's largest populated country, India’s
growth engine depends on rural India, which contributes 69 percent of the total
population. While the overall economy is growing at the rate of seven percent,
rural India still lags behind. Improving the amenities for smart farming and
agricultural technology development by effective utilization of electricity,
potable water, etc are a few major factors required for rural productivity and
economic growth. The era of electronics can help these
rural communities to enhance quality of their livelihood and to provide better
education to kids by upskilling them to become a local manufacturer of
electronics products. The aim of this proposal is to bring a technology
literacy and utilization through Electron Device Society (EDS) among
rural communities. The Kattankulathur
block is located in the Kanchipuram District of Tamil Nadu state of India. The
major source of income for these villagers are from small scale agricultural
farming which could provide only a limited income. Through this project proposal total 35 young
villagers are trained to assemble solar powered LED lights for
indoor and outdoor applications. The objective of this proposal is to create
local entrepreneurship awareness among Villagers, local manufacturing,
technical skills, and awareness of solar powered light for their need. The
training will provide a basic platform for upskilling them and also a small
step towards use of renewable energy instead of use of traditional fuel
kerosine.
Criteria of Selection: The preference for selection of
candidates for training program is carried out with the help of EDS volunteers
by a survey. The youth of the village are preferred for training. Secondly
Minimum education of 10th standard pass is considered in order to
work with electronics components. Finally, the families in remote farming
without electricity is considered for the training in order to provide them
renewable source of energy.
Business purpose: The group of people are trained how to design solar powered
LED lights for different application based on local needs. The initial support
of purchasing equipment (soldering instruments, wire cutter, screw drivers
etc.) are provided to them through EDS humanitarian project grant. A
professional training of PCB manufacturing, assembling of components will be
given by EDS volunteers. Later this group of trained manpower are motivated to
design more solar light for commercial purpose.
