Institute of Solar Technology (Solar Technology Training Institute) has been established by "Shyamsundar Child and Women Development Society".
INSTITUTE OF SOLAR TECHNOLOGY IS AN ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE. So we want to involve more Indian youth (mainly rural unemployed youth) under our solar training project. After getting this training, they can start small solar enterprise.
As per my personal view, in this era, needs more effective Vocational Education/Short term hands-on training, so that unemployed youth can start self business with the help of local Bank and Govt.
LEARNING FOR EARNING.
In this era of global environmental and social awareness, one of the best things citizens can do that is to live and support a more sustainable lifestyle. Our Green Project is focused on documenting, promoting, and supporting unique, cutting-edge models of sustainability around the world.
This responsible approach arose from an observation: generating public awareness - especially among youths - regarding renewable energy sources as an essential factor of the energy transition. Solar energy inspires wonder and is much talked about, but the way it works and its applications are still relatively unknown.
Also, in order to initiate youths and provide other audiences with the keys to understanding the issues of solar energy, IST's teams have developed several educational projects.
BENEFITS OF EDUCATION PROJECT
Social Benefit - Energy independence is a social advantage that is provided by solar energy generation. Implementing solar energy generation gives a homeowner the ability to take control over his energy costs. Solar energy generation may also provide various government tax credits for a person who chooses to implement solar generation. Each participating state offers a renewable-energy incentive for both business and homes to recover costs of initial solar systems set-up.
Youth Employment - An important social advantage of solar energy is the many new jobs needed for solar energy generation. While the demand for solar energy increases, so do the jobs needed to supply the demand. Solar power generating and manufacturing plants will require various positions for successful operation, creating many jobs for local communities. Sales and installation jobs will be necessary as solar energy awareness and popularity increase.
Youth Entrepreneurship - We also support the self esteem of rural women by gradually training them to become a technician, because they can maintain the system on a household level. Women becoming technicians and they are producing parts of the solar systems. So they are having income. In future they will be entrepreneurs. They can sell the system, they can install the system, they can maintain the system, and they can have an income. We are transforming them from passive victims to active agents of social change for their communities. If we can add micro-finance and energy it has the full potential for supporting a functioning entrepreneurship or a business. The objective of this training program is to build manpower capability at technical and operational level for solar power generation through a combination of class-room training and practical training. With practical project work looking at solar power, these industrial training are a fantastic introduction to the world of renewable energy and should help them in find jobs in renewable energy.
Solar rooftop policy which has been already taken by the government of India open the opportunities for small and medium companies, for individual players.
We sincerely acknowledge and thank all the IST’s advisers, friends, family, and well-wishers, thank you for all of your support. Your encouragement and moral support, drive all of us to remain involved in this movement. Without your support, IST would not be able to run programs or provide resources. So, thank you.
