Bom-bom desires
to utilize local natural resources and empower remote
villages to be self sufficient through clean energy and help
them progress with their own nature friendly traditional
systems.
Today Malana
is electrified, a part of modern day democracy but the
invasion of modern world has destroyed some of their
beautiful traditional nature friendly systems. Around Malana
are a few pristine hamlets which are not yet electrified.
The people there still live a very primitive way of life.
But there are enough natural streams to provide the basic
amenity of the modern world – electricity. Bom-Bom plans to
phasewise install 5 Micro Hydel units (5KW to 20 KW) in
these areas and provide electricity to these villagers for
free.
The process of erecting the tank and installation of the
turbines will be done through community participation of the
beneficiaries. We want to create an euphoria in the
villagers so that they feel empowered, self-dependant and
confidant. We hope to create a positive influence to the
villagers by showing a human face of the outside world and
help integrate them to the mainstream.
We are preparing this project with technical support from
‘Jalshakti’a specialized engineering firm run by ex IITian
technocrats.
We are working in tandem with Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy for much needed subsidies and support.
We will publish the project report soon and invite
contributions.
