Stubble burning, a common agricultural practice in many regions, contributes significantly to air pollution and environmental degradation. This research paper presents an innovative approach mitigate the caused by stubble burning introducing multi-faceted solution involving technological advancements entrepreneurial models. Unlike previous approaches which focused predominantly on direct reduction or basic management, this study integrates use of cutting chopper system, specialized container...
LED based Solar Lanterns have evolved as a promising alternative to conventional rural lighting solutions. However, with the commencement of several Lighting programs and wide variety products being introduced in market, there is lack data characterizing quality performance this range products. This affects their long term, reliable towards ensuring sustainability, cost-effectiveness user acceptance within community. paper proposes `laboratory field integrated approach' leading holistic...
The Government of India is increasingly using ranks to incentivise sub-units government. largest such exercise, the Swachh Survekshan, has been conducted since 2016 and aims cities compete on improve waste management sanitation outcomes. Using publicly available Survekshan data, this article suggests that current scoring methodology provides weak signals urban local bodies (ULBs) citizens performance metrics. In particular, it shows are not consistent stable across years, there severe...
With the ever improving lighting and photovoltaic industries initiatives of various solar programs, market is witnessing a gamut products delivery models for same. Besides widely used stand-alone model, services lanterns other portable can be alternatively delivered through charging station models; especially catering to populace who are unable purchase standalone models. This paper presents an approach towards designing central model LED rural areas considering climatic conditions...
Decentralised mini-grids can support household electrification needs in remote rural communities developing countries. Adopting a practice-oriented perspective to research, we describe our experience implementing decentralised solar mini-grid project India over period of three years. Focusing on processes, demonstrate how technical design, organisational mandates and contingencies coevolve with business strategies, user practices, local institutions ecosystems. Recognising facilitating...
