Waaree Energies Gifts the Power of Solar to Rural School
Waaree Energies Ltd., one of India’s largest solar PV module manufacturer has brightened the future of rural education by gifting a state-of-the-art solar power system to a school based in rural India. The school that received the benefit is Shri Sant Koteshwar Maharaj Vidhyalaya located in Eklara Banoda in Maharashtra. This initiative marks a milestone in the company’s mission to merge educational advancement with environmental stewardship.
The installation of the solar power system, which will provide uninterrupted power supply to the village school, represents more than just an infrastructure upgrade — it is a beacon of sustainable development for rural India. With this system being installed, the students and staff can now enjoy a learning environment free from the disruptions of power outages, setting a new standard for educational facilities in remote areas.
Speaking on the initiative, Prabhu Narayan Singh, Chief Sustainability Officer, Waaree Energies Limited said, “This solar installation reflects our commitment to revolutionize rural education through sustainable innovation. By empowering schools with clean energy, we are not only illuminating classrooms but also fostering a generation that values environmental stewardship. This dual impact aligns seamlessly with Waaree’s mission to create a brighter, more sustainable future for communities across India.”
The project aligns with Waaree’s broader community initiatives, following their recent success in Kawani, Bikaner, where the company provided essential school supplies to 5,000 underprivileged students and conducted an extensive tree plantation drive. Known as one of India’s largest solar PV module manufacturers, and with an impressive 13.3 GW aggregate installed capacity, Waaree continues to lead by example in combining business excellence with social responsibility.
The installation of the solar power system will also have additional benefits including significantly reducing the school’s energy costs. This will allow funds to be redirected to educational programs while providing students with hands-on exposure to renewable energy technology. This initiative is an example of corporate commitment to fostering sustainable communities while addressing India’s energy transition needs, demonstrating how corporate leadership in renewable energy can create lasting positive impact at the grassroots level.
