Alternative Energy sources for the rural places.........SMILES as a green energy project

To everybody who wants to know, let me make this clear that regarding the alternative energy sources promotion, it is our aim to light electric lamps in every house in the kalimati village. To this objective we have given a name of Rural Electrification. When SMILES will be working in the field of rural electrification many people would not even know that 1.6 billion people worldwide do not have electricity in their homes and four out of five people electricity live in the developing and the least developed countries.

In the rural places of the country with no electricity,various alternative methods can be deployed to provide the local people with the electricity.These are the sources that we are going to use in the creating SMILES,building the nation for the required power generation.But the most mentionworthy point is that SMILES will work only with the renewable energy technologies in the field of photovoltaics, wind, small hydro or micro hydro and biomass.

The main focus will be in starting the microhydro projects that can provide adequate cheap and clean energy to the rural villages but alongwith the microhydro projects these alternative sources are must because of the various factors such as economy, time required for the construction, manpower etc.
