UN Solar Project Brings Light To Rural India
The Hindu reports some 100,000 people in rural India are receiving several hours of solar-powered lighting every night from a United Nations project. UN Environment Programme Executive Director Achim Steiner said “The project underlines the multiple benefits accruing by providing clean and renewable energies in developing countries.” Just a few hours nightly of solar-powered lighting has seen better grades for school children, improved productivity for artisan groups and better sales at fruit stands, where the produce might have been spoiled by fumes from kerosene lamps.
