एक उज्जवल भविष्य : झारखंड के एक गाँव में सौर ऊर्जा माइक्रो-ग्रिड

राष्ट्रीय ऊर्जा संरक्षण दिवस, जो हर साल 14 दिसंबर को मनाया जाता है, भारत में ऊर्जा संरक्षण और संधारणीय प्रथाओं को बढ़ावा देने के महत्व को रेखांकित करता है। 2024 की थीम सामूहिक ऊर्जा-बचत प्रयासों के प्रभाव पर जोर देती है- 'सस्टेनेबिलिटी को बढ़ावा देना : हर वाट महत्वपूर्ण है'। इसी सन्दर्भ में प्रस्तुत इस आलेख में एक सौर माइक्रो ग्रिड की चर्चा की गई है। छोटी-छोटी बस्तियों वाला, झारखंड का सिमडेगा जिला, नीति आयोग के 'आकांक्षी जिलों' में शामिल हैं जो अभी तक ग्रिड-आधारित बिजली से नहीं जुड़ा है। लेखकों ने इस लेख में चर्चा की है कि कैसे चेंझेरिया गाँव में सौर माइक्रो-ग्रिड की स्थापना से आजीविका के अवसर पैदा हुए हैं, साथ ही पारिवारिक जीवन को आसान और अधिक उत्पादक बनाया है। उन्होंने इस पहल के वित्तीय पहलुओं को रेखांकित किया है और टिकाऊ व्यवसाय मॉडल विकसित करने के महत्व पर भी प्रकाश डाला है।
