Pradeep and his team focused on the fact that solar or renewable energy was yet to find its way to the educational curriculum. “What elated us is that our project is actually introducing school children to the world of renewable energy. At the same time, the idea of inculcating a practical approach towards the field encouraged them to develop the prototype. Moreover, looking at the popularity of the prototype, it is soon to be adopted by all Kendriya Vidyalayas across the nation. IIT Bombay’s compact solar energy device is now introducing school-going children to the world of renewable energy.
The prototype is a small-sized solar plant along with adjustable panels.As the prototype was manufactured with the help of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), it has been inducted into the curriculum of union government-run Kendriya Vidyalayas across various states.P. The machine also has several dials that show the amount of energy collected,” informed Mr Pradeep. Only if they are aware will they make better choices than their predecessors amidst threats of global warming and diminishing natural resources,” said Mr Pradeep.
The small-sized device with adjustable solar panels has not only been adopted by a number of Kendriya Vidyalaya schools across the country, it is slated to be incorporated in the new subject of solar energy that will be added to the curriculum this year onwards. Pradeep, an IITian from the department of energy, science and engineering who spearheaded the project, said that the core idea behind it was to create awareness among students who would shape our future. “There have been talks to create awareness about renewable energy and lessen the burden on our natural resources but the process of realisation starts a little later than expected. We have to understand that it is difficult to make an adult mend his or her ways but it is easier to educate children about the same,” he said. The children can simply adjust the panels of the prototype to ensure maximum exposure to sunlight and the plant creates energy, enough to charge a bulb

We are executing a three megawatt rooftop
According to estimates, 50 to 60 per cent of the power demand at Howrah station can be met through solar energy. (Photo: PTI/Representational) Kolkata: Howrah railway station is set to go green with the installation of three megawatt rooftop solar panels on platform sheds.
We are executing a three megawatt rooftop solar project for eastern railway at a cost of Rs 21 crore which will probably be the largest rooftop solar project in the Indian Railways," RaysExpert director Rahul Gupta told PTI.RaysExpert is a renewable energy service company, engaged in the project.Confirming the development, eastern railway CPRO Ravi Mahapatra said that 14 platform sheds will be used to setup the rooftop solar panels.Gupta said they will sell power at Rs 5.49 per unit for the next 25 years to eastern railway."Financial closure is done and we expect to execute the project in the next three months," he said.According to estimates, 50 to 60 per cent of the power demand at Howrah station can be met through solar energy.Gupta said that the eastern railway will make sizeable saving in electricity cost after the implementation of the project.Rooftop solar projects are gaining popularity in government buildings due to the subsidy provided by the Centre to the tune of 15 per cent, making projects viable for both service providers and buyers.
