Paushi is a not electrified and the Ashram children used to study with kerosene lamp during the night time. Somnet engineers under the guidance of their technical director Shantanu Som, planned to install a Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) system for the lighting requirement. A technical team assessed the need of the ashram, designed an off-grid system and portable solar lanterns. To keep the cost under control and to deliver maximum utility for every rupee spent, the design team of Somnet took a step further to design, manufacture and installs the system in-house. The technical team swiftly designed, produced and installed an off-grid SPV system and produced 10 Solar Lanterns and delivered them to Antyodoy.

To ensure sustainability and trouble free operation, Somnet trained two local technicians and developed their skills on the system and the solar lanterns. This ensured reliability and uninterrupted operation in years to come.
