Rural Area Energy Access Program

Today, the world is undergoing a transformational change and adjustment because of simultaneous global warming and an increase in crude oil prices, necessitating a paradigm shift towards sustainable growth. It is worldwide recognized that fossil fuels are depleting fast and their excessive use needs to be curbed. More than 40 percent of population does not have access to electricity. In this context, the role of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is vital. India has been making continuous progress in conventional as well as renewable power generation. India lies in the sunny region of the world. Most part of India receives 4-7 kilowatt hours of solar radiation per square meter of area per day with 250-300 sunny days in a year. The highest amount of solar energy is received in Rajasthan state and as compare to other state.

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has selected Rajasthan as one of the States where solar energy will have its future. Moreover NAVYUG VIKAS & ANUSANDHAN SANSTHAN has been selected out of 40 plus NGO's throughout India to carry out the work in selected villages of Rajasthan for the solar energy project (Empanelled for Rural Area Energy Access Program).

Scope of Work:

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy department will assign the village to Navyug Anusandhan Sansthan. It will be the job of the NYVAS to make the people aware about the benefits of solar energy and power generation for the village use. This project will involve NYVAS to convince people to take up the solar energy and setup a solar energy plant so that it will suffice the electricity requirement for that particular village.

Objectives Of The Assignment/Job Implementation Of Various Energy Access Programme:

RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITIES:

• 1) Monitoring and Evaluation of individual project or program as whole including Technical, operational socio economic expect user feedback impact assessment
• 2) Spreading awareness, organizing conference, seminar, workshop Sharing among various stake holders; for experience
• 3) Facilitating micro finance to rural people;
• 4) Assessment of renewable energy sources available in the village in association with State nodal agency;
• 5) Assessment of Energy Requirement of tribal/village community;
• 6) Preparation of State-wise Master Plan for use of various kind of renewable energy Sources in rural areas; and
• 7) Knowledge sharing for required technical and institutional changes for rapid up scaling of rural electrification through renewable energy

REMEDIAL MEASURES:

For improvement Of Energy Access to Rural Area

The Energy Development Index (EDI) is a multi-dimensional indicator that tracks energy development country-by-country, distinguishing between developments at the household level and at the community level EDI consist of :-

• • Framing energy development
• • Calculating the EDI
• • Changes compared to previous EDI
• • Application of the new EDI
• • MEN POWER: Proper staff to be considered according to its capacity. There should be no relaxation in this stipulation so that the technical flaw in the program in removed.
• • TRAINING: Proper training for Solar PV System
• • Sample collection: Proper care to be taken while collecting samples
• • Timely communication of report A system of online communication of reports may be started by which the Energy transmission and distribution can be handled
• • Charging Maintenance fee: A small amount starting with 50 to 100 Rupee shall be imposed on villagers for Solar -PV system maintenance
