Eco India: How one Indian village is showing the way to achieving 100 percent solar electrification

Averaging 300 days of sunshine a year, India has huge solar energy potential. It still relies heavily on coal for its electricity needs – compounding some of the world’s worst air pollution. But with plans to get half its power supplies from renewables by 2030 – India is going to have to up its solar game. A village in Gujarat is leading the way - as the country’s first to be powered by the sun – 24/7!

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.

He said that his year end saving of 6000-8000 is directly credited to his bank account.

Why did you put 600-800 in the subtitles? Correct it.

Tomorrow’s World Relationships

A perfect match? A loving family? Happy children? The pressures of today’s world create a grim reality where successful and lasting relationships are something of a fantasy. We cannot rely on the experience of elders since they lived in a very different world, so we have to find how to create meaningful and sustainable partnerships today. The key word in this search is connectedness, or rather, interconnectedness.

Because the world is changing at an accelerating pace, it is pointless to compare today’s relationships to those of our parents, or even to relationships of people a decade or two older than us. Each year, the world becomes increasingly connected, and a crisis in one place quickly spreads to the rest of the world.

On the personal level, too, things today are very different from what they were a decade ago. We have moved from fast food to fast relationships, and brief has become our permanent state of being.

To cope with the growing uncertainty and find direction in the emerging chaos, we need to understand where we are going. We are headed toward total connectedness and interdependence. It is an irreversible process. The more connected we become, the more dependent on each other we become, as well. Soon, we will realize that anything that hurts others hurts me, too, and there is nothing I can do to break my ties with the world.

In order to cope successfully with our interconnected future, we must change the nature of our ties from abusive and oppressive to supportive and embracing. Since we already broadcast our thoughts, words, and actions to the entire world, we might as well broadcast positive thoughts, words, and actions, and help improve the world for ourselves and others.

In a world that is connected positively, the family is the basic unit of connection. A reality where humanity is a mass of isolated individuals is unsustainable because there will be no connections between people and society will disintegrate just as any organism disintegrates into the smallest elements when it dies.

Therefore, the family will be the basic unit where people cultivate positive connections. Since people are becoming increasingly individualistic, the family will be the place where people learn to embrace diversity rather than fight against people who hold different views. People will learn that just as our body exists thanks to different cells and organs working together for the sake of the body, different people who work together for the sake of the family enable the success of the family.

From the family unit, people will take their lessons to the community, from the community to the city, from the city to the state, to the country, and finally to the entire world. The key, therefore, to successful relationships in tomorrow’s world, lies not only in connections, but in connections between different people for a common goal, where the differences between them ensure their success and make their mutual dependence imperative, and even welcome.

People from develop places Don't consider us human ...us villagers our lives doesn't matter

[babyabraham]

Why waste 5 acres of solar farm land . Can we grow vegetables and greens in between them . Flowering plants and roses plants, medicinal plants that will not cast shade on the solar panels but are of height below the height of solar panels . So many families will be benefited . Since the surrounding areas are farms, farmers will be relieved to restart their farming in the solar field . If we use the exposed areas of solar field in this way how many acres will come under cultivation all over India !!!! Both need sunlight . Both get sunlight . Both benefit .

[thegreatest]

solar panel all imported from chainaa 😁😂😂

[AR-oxln]

Left leaning scroll cant mention that its because of BJP govt's policies.

[ShivamSoni-olrw]

Gujarat is under BJP.
Scroll should not publish it

[_GMP_]

State Govt should distribute solar panels to all houses in their state.
So that electricity required for a city can be generated inside the city itself with many microgrids for each ward .
