This first-of-its-kind study establishes the socio-economic and environmental impact of DRE livelihood technologies on its users. It gives recommendations on enabling a conducive ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of DRE technologies at scale.

Entrepreneurs, end-users, financiers, investors, funders and policymakers will discuss the way forward to capitalise on the massive opportunity offered by cleantech, and how to build on the sector's successes, failures, and learnings.

Union minister R. K. Singh released two new reports by CEEW and Villgro, which show that clean technologies have the potential to impact 37 million livelihoods in India's agriculture and textile sectors.

The study provides insights on the market, viability, and impact potential of decentralised renewable energy livelihood technologies to help stakeholders make more informed choices.

Union Minister Shri R. K. Singh launched India's Solar Anthem — Suraj Ka Gola — at the Powering Livelihoods National Summit. Dedicated to the new India & new energies!

The blog highlights how three rural Indian women are using DRE-powered appliances to improve their incomes, reduce the drudgery of their work and encouraging other women to become more self-reliant.

Erratic power supply can hamper access to cooling services, affect livelihoods, especially in the agriculture sector, and increase food insecurity. DRE can become an efficient power solution for increasing access to cooling services.

The study explores learnings, evidence, and recommendations on creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural women, emanating from gender-forward initiatives deployed by Powering Livelihoods.

Only when women are at the centre of renewable energy expansion will India be able to achieve both inclusive and sustainable growth. Government, private industries, philanthropies, grasswoots organisations and tech enterprises should join hands.
