Brighter Horizons: Solar Power Transforms Remote Tribes in Andhra Pradesh’s Prakasam District

Several remote tribal hamlets in Andhra Pradesh’s Prakasam district are experiencing newfound brightness, thanks to a solar power initiative. Without access to conventional electricity for decades, residents in villages such as Minamanjeri, Sayanapalli, and Yerravaram previously relied on kerosene lamps and firewood. The deployment of solar lighting systems has transformed daily life, enabling residents to pursue work, studies, and chores safely after sunset.

This initiative, implemented by the New and Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (NREDCAP) and district authorities, has brought significant relief to these communities. Solar lights not only provide a cost-effective and clean solution to energy needs but also reduce the health risks posed by traditional lighting sources. The project has been met with enthusiasm and gratitude from villagers, who now look forward to brighter and safer nights.
