Schneider Electric inaugurates climate smart villages in Jharkhand
Schneider Electric India Foundation (SEIF), a socially committed arm of Schneider Electric in India, has inaugurated two Climate Smart Villages in the Gumla district of Jharkhand where communities would be using solar power for irrigation, agro-processing, households, and requirements.
The Climate Smart Village initiative is designed to empower rural India, with a specific emphasis on uplifting tribal farming communities with the use of renewable energy. Schneider Electric launched this initiative in collaboration with PRADAN (Professional Assistance for Developed Action), an NGO that works to improve lives of underprivileged rural families.
