Slide 1 - Resouce Efficiency & Rural Livelihoods

RESOURCE EFFICIENCY & RURAL LIVELIHOODS
‘A CASE OF MAWA PRODUCTION UNIT’

About 600,000 metric tonners of whole dried milk (popularly called khoya or mawa) is produced in India on annual basis. A major ingredient for many Indian sweets, the industry consists of mostly small and decentralized players, in cities and villages.
Grid Research team collaborated with a small local entrepreneur in Lunkaransar block of Bikaner district (Rajasthan) to retrofit an ailing boiler to enhance its efficiency, reduce emissions and evaluate financial viability of such interventions.

Slider 4 - Building Coalitons

BUILDING COALITIIONS FOR ELECTRCITY GOVERNANCE

At Grid Research, we strongly believe that governance is not limited to political parties, governing institutions, legislations, policies and regulations. Governance also includes relational aspects of how these agencies engage with citizens and vice-versa, understand development, build consensus and manage conflicts.
Electricity governance is inherently complex because of social, technical, financial and legal dimensions. This acts as a natural barriers for citizens to engage in electricity decision making, especially in a constructive manner.
Grid Research is continuously working to build grass-root coalitions with civil societies and consumer champions; and empower them to engage in electricity governance. Such coalitions are being powered through evidence collection, capacity building and collaborative advocacy.
