Surya Shakti: National Renewable Energy Literacy Programme
INTRODUCTION
The Surya Shakti: National Renewable Energy Literacy Programme is an original curriculum that equips students with a foundational knowledge of renewable energy resources and technologies, along with their applications in everyday life across socio-economic and geographical locations. Every student who completes the Surya Shakti programme receives a certification from Metafin Cleantech Finance.
GOALS
The goal of Surya Shakti is to eventually empower over 10,000 low-income schoolchildren with certified energy literacy. I hope to then publish measurable outcomes, working towards scaling a national curriculum by building institutional partnerships.
