A village in Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh has been operating on on solar power for a year now; Lakhanjar villages installation of a solar plant in its midst has been a source of welfare for all of its residents. Children of Lakhanjar can now have electricity to study at nights; women can cook via solar-operated device. A resident explains: the solar panels batteries are charged at daytime so that during the nights, electricity is available in all forms, to every citizen. The village mightnt have roads or a concrete healthcare cell but its 1200 citizens havent faced problems in the electricity department precisely because of such an installment.
Lakhanjar is a small Village/hamlet in Mandawara Tehsil in Lalitpur District of Uttar Pradesh State, India. It comes under Lakhanjar Panchayat. It belongs to Jhansi Division. It is located 56 KM towards South from District headquarters Lalitpur and 413 KM from State capital Lucknow. A whole village that whose electrical needs are fulfilled by environmentally friendly solar power, is truly a landmark in Indias path of development.
Real impact, at ground-level, finds a reflection in Lakhanjar villages current system. Carbon footprints have already been reduced due to the solar plant. The next challenge is to expand this system and simultaneously reduce its cost.
