Unnat Bharat Abhiyan - SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) conducted an informative and engaging hands-on training session focused on the assembling of solar study lamps. This initiative was part of their ongoing efforts to enhance educational opportunities and promote sustainable energy solutions in rural areas. The event was held at Panchayat Union Middle School of Kolathur adopted village, with the goal of providing students with the knowledge and skills to create solar-powered lamps that can serve as a reliable source of light for study and other essential activities. The session began with an interactive presentation on solar energy, its benefits, and its importance in today’s world, particularly in rural areas by Ms. Geetha, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering - SRMIST. Participants were educated on how solar power can reduce dependence on conventional electricity sources, thus contributing to sustainability. Participants were provided with materials, including solar panels, LED lights, batteries, and other necessary components. Step-by-step guidance was given by experts from SRMIST, demonstrating the correct method to assemble the components into functional solar study lamps. They were able to handle the materials themselves and construct their own solar lamps. This hands-on experience helped participants gain practical skills in electronics and solar energy technologies.  After the assembly, a discussion session was held where participants shared their experiences. Questions related to maintenance, durability, and further applications of solar lamps were addressed. Upon completion of the assembling, participant was given with solar study lamp to take home. End of the session Dr.V. Thirumurugan, Nodal officer of UBA-SRMIST asked the students how helpful the workshop was and what they learned from the training session. Also, they gave feedback on the training and asked for more training like this. These lamps are expected to significantly enhance the learning environment for students who lack reliable access to electricity. This training on assembling solar study lamps organized by UBA-SRMIST at Kolathur adopted village proved to be a resounding success. It not only equipped the local community with valuable skills but also raised awareness about the importance of sustainable energy solutions. The event demonstrated SRMIST’s commitment to community development, education, and environmental sustainability, making a meaningful contribution to the village’s growth. School teachers and students thanked UBA – SRMIST for this wonderful initiative.
