In partnership with SELCO, Apraava implemented solar power initiatives in close to 40 villages across five states - Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana and Telangana. The move helped reduce over 130 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, equivalent to planting 6,500 trees per year.
The community interventions focused on enhancing safety through solar lighting in villages and schools, electrifying healthcare centres, creating jobs for differently-abled individuals and women, and improving access to quality education.
"Solar lighting installations have provided a sense of safety and security...Solar electrification in primary health centres has ensured uninterrupted functionality of essential facilities," Apraava said in a statement.
It added that solar-powered appliances like fridges and roti-rolling machines created employment for differently-abled people and women, while digital education kits improved the quality of learning in rural areas.
"These interventions have not only focused on all-round community development but also helped reduce significant greenhouse emissions," said Priyesh Modi, head of corporate social responsibility at Apraava Energy.
"Apraava remains committed to working with the communities to address their needs and contribute to building a sustainable future for India," he added.
Apraava Energy did not disclose the investment made in the solar development program.
