A few days back, students from Jalka experienced the benefits of electricity from solar energy, a source of clean, reliable, renewable energy. This is exactly what the villagers demanded of politicians they met in Delhi.

Children are the future of our country, they hold the promise of India. Children in Jalka rejoice as Greenpeace puts up solar panels on two schools in the Jalka village.

Kalavati and her daughter overlook a computer at the Zilla Parishad School, which will now be run by the solar panels installed on the school roof tops.

The village sarpanch (village head) and member of the village present at the Zilla Parishad School. If India were to harness solar power, we would be able to meet a significant amount of our energy needs.

School girls of the Zilla Parishad School strike a pose under the new solar panel rooftop. The 1.7 kWh and 280W panels at the Zilla Parishad school and the secondary school can power 10 fans and two computers respectively.
