A joint initiative with GHE and support of TATA Communications, this programme spans 600+ villages in the Garo and Khasi Hills. Through this initiative, NESFAS is working on promoting climate resilience through clean energy access, sustainable cooking solutions, and improved healthcare infrastructure.
By deploying solar electrification, upgrading Primary Health Centres, and introducing clean cooking technologies, the programme is reducing energy poverty, improving health outcomes, and building resilience. Training rural youth as solar engineers also ensures that communities gain the skills needed to sustain these innovations, making it a transformative step towards energy security and sustainable rural development.
