Project Details
The Zunheboto town is the District HQ with a population of 22,623, most of the people in Zunheboto Town are very dependent upon grid power, which is very erratic. Once the power is shut down due to natural calamities or technical snags, it takes hours and often days to restore it. This has caused a lot of inconvenience to the people. Due to non-availability of solar lighting, there is limited movement of people in the village after dark. The villagers also use Kerosene as a source of energy for lighting. However, the use of kerosene causes many health hazards. In addition, there is no provision to support installation of Solar Power plant in any of the government schemes given the financial condition of the state. Thus, the project is proposed for installation of 40 Watt LED Solar Street Light at 13 wards of Zunheboto Town (200 No’s) with a view to provide better illumination. Solar electrification is expected to bring a number of social and economic benefits including improvements in security through street lighting, increase productivity and quality of village artisans, cottage industries, increased access to communication technologies, and increased outcomes in areas related to public service delivery including health and education.
