1.

Baseline and need assessment:

● Major problems identified
- resources availability
- Unavailability of jobs in the villages
- Migration to urban settlements was one of the many concerns and this would end
if villages were developed to meet the needs of the people in terms of health,
education and job security.
● Focus areas: Energy, Agriculture , Livelihood , Sanitation and Computer Based
knowledge
● 40 villages and 11500 households were selected in Neturia and Santuri block
● Development Partner Coal India Limited and implementing partner TERI

2. Challenges:
● Limited interactions, people in the village were hesitant to open up initially.
● Door to door survey- time consuming
● Lack of knowledge and understanding
● How to use it
● Repairing and maintenance
● Lack of money and funds

3. Clean Energy:
● Clean Energy is backbone of the Sustainability
● Primary source of energy-coal dust and wood that were freely available. This
took a toll on the health of the people and the environment.
● Coal India Limited partnered with TERI providing them solar energy panels
(electricity, street lights) and clean stoves.

4. Budget
● 11,500 households × 20,000 paid by company for each solar = 23,00,00,000 solar
energy
● 200 street lights × 20,000 per street light= 40,00,000
● 11,500 households × 3,000 paid by company for single stove = 3,45,00,000 clean
stoves
● 40 HR × 50,000 salary = 20,00,000
● Total Budget = 23,00,00,000 + 40,00,000 + 3,45,00,000 + 20,00,000 =
27,05,00,000

5. Timeline
● 2 months for baseline and need assessment
● 1 month for planning
● 3 years for project execution
● Examine by the 3rd party
6. Implementations:
● 9000 clean cook stoves were distributed
● Solar power on exhaust
● 9000 Solar home lights
● 100 Solar street lights
