18. As the organization do there project in many areas of the country
like Maharashtra, Chennai, U.P, Hyderabad, etc. but we were sent to
the place where organization is willing to set up there new project of
micro grid station in the village.
The organization targeted this village in Etah dist. as they came to
know that there is no supply of electricity from more than a decade.
We have been assign with the task to find out the potential of setting
up micro grid station in the village and also we have to make them
aware of solar products and sell them.

19. PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION:-

 Introduction of the product
 Personal interview

21. With the help of all methods we adopted we found that:
 There is no electricity in the village since a decade.
 Earlier they had supply of electricity but due to less number of people
who took connection the supply has been stopped.
 The villagers go to the market to charge their phone.
 All the villagers are highly willing to have electricity supply to make use
of electric appliances they have.
 They are ready to pay enough amount to have electric connection.
 As there is a gap in PDS of kerosene the purchase of other source of
energy to light the home is high.
 They refuse to buy solar product of our organization as for them it is
costing higher than the product they buy.
 They are ready for micro grid station.
 The project will only be successful there if any authorize body take
initiative as a investor.
 No villager is ready to invest these many high cost on the project.

22.  Kerosene engulfed more than 2-3 people every year.
 They want more electricity supply in summer season for irrigation
purpose.
 There is no SHGs in the village.
 No NGO works in that village.
 The panchayat is also inactive.

23.  We got to have a clear understanding of the problems faced
by the villagers.
 Conducting PRA activities was an “ice-breaker” to get to know
about the villagers.
 We learnt how they manage their issues independently
without any interference of panchayat and SHGs.
 We got to know their culture, tradition, living style, livelihood.

24.  The villagers are really facing problem due to irregularity in government
interventions.
 Villagers are the one who have been exploited by the higher
authorities.(Pradhan, Sarpanch etc)
 Internal politics amongst the villagers.
SUGGESTION:-
 Support from an NGO.
To encourage them to take leadership roles in
personal and public life.
 Organization should act as a facilitator.
To train them in the basic principles of business and
management so that they can become self-employed.
