Sunderban women wield the power of the sun
© TERI. Sunderban reserva de la biosfera
TERI, en colaboración con la Misión Ramakrishna (RKM), es capacitar a las mujeres de la reserva de la biosfera Sunderbans para promover el uso de la energía solar. Este proyecto piloto ha permitido crear empresas viables, en el lado ly Supp, targeting women entrepreneurs.
These enterprises have been created not only to provide solar PV-based services in remote and interior villages, but also to provide repair and maintenance services to already existing products and systems. An organizational set up, called MFEDO (Market Facilitating and Enterprise Development Organization), has been created within the cluster organization Kalpataru of the RKM, to oversee the development of these enterprises. MFEDO provides comprehensive support by way of procuring raw material, facilitating market linkages and forming Self-Help-Groups.
