About Us
The Solar Pump Yojana (SPY) is a group promoted and established by professionals for socio-economic and livelihood enhancement of the poor in India. Currently, SPY is involved in poverty alleviation and community empowerment through its dynamic approach of cluster-level community-managed centers. Managed Development Centers (MDCs) are another focus for SPY; these help rural communities gain access to reliable electricity. Another focus for SPY is on mobilization, organization, and collective action for local communities and ethnic groups—in particular, women and farmers. Sewa Kendras approach far-flung helmsmen for capacity building and mainstreaming of unreached poor women and men community members; with the help of SPY, 24-hour power supply can be possible in the villages of India with the help of electricity generated on farmers' land. The Solar Pump Yojana, a scheme by the government of India, aims to provide 24-hour power supply in villages of the country by generating electricity on the land of farmers. With this scheme, farmers will be able to reduce their use of diesel and kerosene oil and they will be able to sell the extra electricity generated from it to any company, who will pay them a price per unit.
