Promoting solar energy by spreading awareness, training people and demonstrating technologies

Objectives of NEF

 Conventional sources of energy not only available in limited quantity but are also harmful for our environment. Therefore alternative clean energy source, which are abundant in nature should be used for our needs. This apart, rural development is must overall development of our country because still more than 60% of the population lives in villages. Availability of sufficient clean energy to rural areas can bring desirable development to rural communities.

  A combination of both clean energy usage and rural development is incorporated in the objective of NEF. This means rural development through energy. Under its banner, the organization will work on the following three broad categories
 

  The organization will mainly work in rural areas but on excess availability of the resources the work area can also be extended to urban areas. With the similar line of arguments the work area will also be extended to other countries.

  There will be both classroom training as well as field training for the participants. Classroom training may be of specific period programs lasting for a week, a month so on. Based on the training appropriate certificates will be provided.

 The organization will demonstrate and promote all type of renewable energy sources and technologies for energy generation, mainly it will focus on technologies like

 The organization will showcase the renewable energy technologies in its premises for the purpose of demonstration. The demonstration set up should always be in working condition.

 Volunteers of the organization would also travel to other approachable areas for teaching and demonstration on energy related issues. This is to say that the activities of the organization will be limited only to office place of the organization.

 The organization will help an individual who wish to implement any of the renewable energy technology for practical applications. The help may also be provided for the project cost estimation, fund raising and implementations.

 The organization would work with close collaboration with the government towards its objectives. Collaboration should be in all fronts of the organizations objectives; education, training and promotion on Energy and renewable energy technologies.

 The organization would also work with other non-government organizations (NGOs) who are working on the similar areas. Collaboration should be extended to all fronts of the organization’s objectives.

 The organization will also train the members of other NGOs who are involved in activities related to rural development and development related issues in general. This will be helpful in spreading awareness on energy related issues.

 Taking part in the policy making on energy related issues.

 Working on solution which can directly or indirectly help in energy savings like promoting energy efficient appliances for domestic and household purposes.
