TERI, in collaboration with the Ramakrishna Mission (RKM), Photo Gallery. This pilot project has successfully created viable enterprises, on the supp ly side, 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 (Photo Gallery), 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.
