SOCIETAL PROBLEM: Electricity Problem in Rural Areas

One of the key challenges of the electricity sector is development of rural electrification. This has been a problem not only in India but also across the globe. Even today, vast majorities of the people in the rural areas in the developing and under developed countries do not have access to commercial forms of energy like electricity. Most of these people are dependent on the traditional fuels of wood, dung and crop residue and often use primitive and inefficient technologies. Currently Majority of families in India has no or lack of access to electricity. In India most of the villages are not electrified and most of them are currently supposed not to be conventionally connected to Power Grid

THERE LIVE CAN BE MADE BETTER IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:-

Electricity Problem In Rural Areas Can Be Resolved by:

* Using a biomass gasifier that creates fuel from rice husks, a waste product of the rice hullers that separate the husks as chaff from the rice, a staple food in the region.

* Secondly by using hydro, solar and wind can make an enormous benefit to income generation and local development without increasing carbon dioxide emissions.

Benefits the people will get after resolving the electricity problem

1. Extends the Working day in rural areas

on average it is dark by 6:30 year round. Solar Lighting allows rural families to extend their workday into the evening hours. Many villages where solar lights are installed see an increase in their economic activity levels. Installing Solar lights in villages allows businesses to operate during the evening

2. Improves Health issues

Fumes from kerosene lamps in poorly ventilated houses are a serious health problem in much of the world...
