Partnership

FES works with rural communities for promoting energy conservation devices with like-minded organisations such as SPRERI. SPRERI’s technology transfer division, under DST core support programme, has installed different renewable energy gadgets like solar lantern, biomass cook stoves, solid state biogas plants, solar cookers etc. in different villages of Dahod and Vadodara districts of Gujarat state. These villages are scattered and off-grid areas. Aim of the project was to reduce the drudgery of Indian rural women by promoting renewable energy gadgets.
