Local residents have light after darkness falls as solar energy has illuminated the once dark and sleepy rural areas. [break]
Despite being blessed with year-round sunshine, the clean and renewable energy has time remained largely untapped in the district for a long time.
The credit to light rural villages through solar light that reduces carbon emission goes to cooperatives for offering finance to people.
Locals, who had lived in darkness for years, today are all happy to enjoy 24-hour light.
Micro finance companies and cooperatives provide loan to locals to buy solar in installment, a scheme that has been facilitating locals to light home with the sunlight-powered system instead of expensive and polluting kerosene lamps.
