India has a high potential for renewable sources of energy:
The demand for energy in rural areas is increasing day by day. Currently, energy is being used mainly for cooking, lighting and agricultural work. 75 percent of energy consumption is being used for cooking and lighting. In addition to electricity, locally available biofuels and kerosene, etc. are also used extensively by rural households to get energy.
In agriculture, energy is mainly used for water extraction. Electricity and diesel are also being used in these works. Manpower is largely wasted in agricultural operations in the country. Although the level of energy use varies within the village, such as between rich and poor, between irrigated land and dry land, between women and men, etc.
The current state of energy use in India:
About 70 percent of India's population lives in rural areas. The most important challenge is to ensure the availability of rural energy if we are to keep up with the current pace of development. So far, 21 percent of the villages in our country and 50 percent of the rural households have not been able to access electricity.
