Education is a vital sector in any country, and in India, it is no different. India has one of the largest education systems globally, with a network of universities, colleges, and schools spread across the country. The education sector contributes significantly to the country's economic growth by providing skilled people and promoting research and innovation. However, the sector faces several challenges, such as insufficient infrastructure, limited funding, and a shortage of qualified personnel. Despite the challenges, the Indian education system is striving towards a more sustainable future, recognizing the role it plays in shaping the country's future. Some schools and universities in India are integrating sustainability into their curriculum and campus operations, promoting sustainable transportation options, and implementing energy-efficient systems

  • In 2016, SunSource Energy developed an on-site solar power project for us. Since we were associated with them from the start, it was obvious that we tied up with them again for a 5 MW off-site project when the Open Access Policy of UP came in 2019. SunSource Energy’s team of experts has simplified the process of the energy transition for us with their on-site and off-site solar solutions.
