Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 12: On 13th February 2025, the Rotary Club of Bombay (RCB), in collaboration with the Chirag Rural Development Foundation, will mark the completion of its 40th Integrated Village Development Project. This milestone initiative, implemented in the remote village of Chandragav, Palghar District, is set to significantly enhance the quality of life for its residents through sustainable solar energy solutions and critical infrastructure improvements.
RCB President Satyan Israni highlighted the impact of this transformation, stating, “This initiative will provide continuous light to 723 villagers through individual solar lamps. Additionally, solar lift irrigation will ensure that 15 farming families have year-round access to water, enabling the cultivation of over 15 acres of land. Households will benefit from a daily supply of 2,500 liters of drinking water, with individual water filters provided to ensure safe consumption. Furthermore, the installation of 23 solar-powered streetlights will enhance safety in the village, reducing the risk of snake and scorpion bites.”
A strong emphasis has also been placed on education and child welfare. With the introduction of smart TVs and uninterrupted solar power, 40 primary school children, including 22 girls, will experience an improved learning environment. Similarly, 52 children, including 28 girls, attending the village Anganwadi will benefit from continuous solar-powered facilities, fostering engaged foundational learning throughout the year.
