AIMS:-
➢ To introduce the issue of energy access in rural areas and the importance of energy
➢ To outline the basic energy needs in rural areas and some of the barriers preventing
increased energy access to rural populations
➢ To provide some example of policy instruments for improving energy services in rural
areas

OUTCOMES:-
➢ To be able to show the links between rural development and energy access
➢ To understand basic energy needs in rural areas and be able to describe some
of the barriers preventing improved energy access to rural populations
➢ To describe some policy instruments that could help improve energy access
in rural areas
INTRODUCTION
As the world finds itself at the beginning of a modern 21st century , for poor people in developing
countries , a host of development and environmental problems still remain.
➢ Even after the technology is reaching each and every home still the awareness about proper
use of energy is very less.
➢ Especially the people living in rural area have no idea about what does ‘Reduction in
Energy Consumption’ means.
➢ Hence it was important to make them aware of and educate about proper usage of energy
and reduction in it’s consumption.
WE STARTED OUR AICTE ACTIVITES FROM 20/05/2022 TO
04/02/2020
TIHIS IS A 15 DAYS REPORT WE WENT TO PERFORM THESE
ACTIVITIES IN THE VILLAGES “CHITTA” AND
“GORNAHALLI”
❖ Replacing LED lights from INCANDESCENT lights:-
We observed that most of the people use incandescent lights in their homes because of
which most of their children studying under that light were finding it difficult to study
properly, it was also effecting their eyesight in a negative manner.
The usage of incandescent light bulb was also adding up to their increased monthly light
bill since many years.

Myself guiding mothers for using LED lights instead of incandescent light bulbs.
PRIMARY COMMERCIAL ENERGY RESOURCES
India’s energy used is mostly based on fossil fuels.
Although the country has significant coal and hydro resources potential, it is relatively poor in oil
and gas resources.

In 1995 coal accounted for 63.3% of india’s primary energy production while petroleum 18.6%,
hydroelectricity 8.9%,natural gas 8.2%,and nuclear power only 1%

Geological coal reserves of the country are estimated at 220.98 billion tons in 2001. Out of this,
proven reserves are 84.41 bt,while 98.55 but are indicated reserves and 38.02 but are inferred
reserves
HYDROPOWER ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

It has the ability to store energy and flexibility of its use during peak load periods. India is
endowed with economically viable hydro potential.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear energy has the potential to meet the future needs of electricity demand in the country. The
country has developed capability to build and operate nuclear power plants observing international
standards of safety.
Current installed capacity of nuclear power plants is 2,860 mw accounting for 2.8% of the
total installed capacity of the country .
Nuclear power corporation of india limited (NPCIL) proposes to increases the installed
capacity to 9,935mw by 2011-2012
RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY:-
India is endowed with abundant natural and renewable resources of energy viz., sun, wind,and
biomass .

The country has been able to achieve significant capacity addition of 1,367 MW through wind
farms.

India has ranks 5th in the world after germany, united states , spain and Denmark in the generation
of wind energy.

• WIND ENERGY :-
India is the wind superpower with an installed wind power capacity of 1,167 MW and has
generated about 5 billion units of electricity and fed into the national grid so far.

In all 13 states of India have a net potential of about 45,000 MWin progress are wind resources
assessment program, wind monitoring, wind mapping, covering 800 stations in 24 states with 193
wind monitoring stations in operation
SOLAR ENERGY:-
Solar water heaters have proved to be the most popular so far and solar
photovoltaic(pv) for decentralized power supply are fast becoming popular in rural
and remote areas.
Under the water pumping program more than 3,000 systems have been installed so far, and the
market for solar lighting and solar pumping is far from saturated.

Solar drying is one area, which offers very good prospects in food, agricultural and chemical
products drying applications.
ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY:-
➢ SPV SYSTEMS:-
More than 7,00,000 PV systems of capacity over 44MW for different applications are
installed all over india. The market segment and usage is mainly for home lighting, street
lighting ,solar lanterns and water pumping for irrigation.

As the demand for power grows exponentially and conventional fuel based power generating more
than 1,400KW are in operation in 8 states of india.

Especially in rural area where the likelihood of conventional electric lines is remote,SPV power
generation is the best alternative.
SOLAR COOKERS:-
Government has been promoting box type solar cookers with subsidies since long time in the hope
of saving fuel and meeting the needs of rural and urban populace. there are community cookers
and large parabolic reflector based systems in operation in some places but solar cookers, as a
whole ,have not found the widespread acceptance and popularity.

A lot of educating and pushing will have to be put in before solar cookers are made an
indispensable part of each household at least in rural and semi urban areas .

Solar cookers using parabolic reflectors or multiple mirrors which result in faster cooking of food
would be more welcome than the single reflector box design is.
SOLAR WATER HEATERS :-

A conservative estimate of solar water heating systems installed in the country is estimated at over
4,75,000 sq meter of the conventional flat plate collectors.
CONCLUSION:-
At the end I would like to conclude that because of this great opportunity, we were successfully
able to inform and educate people on how they can reduce the energy consumption by bringing up
some small basic changes in their life.

With all of this we could bring up a huge difference in all their life.
