This STC activity was sanctioned on 21.02.2007.
This was funded by JU, TEQUIP fund: 3,80,000/-
1) SISED organized several awareness programs in the villages of Basanti, Sunderban area, about the necessity of this type of lighting system with the joint collaboration of NGO JGVK.
2) Trained up 3 villagers for six months for the upkeep and maintenance of all the lighting system.
3) SISED provided 8 LED solar street lights, 3 combined LED and low pressure sodium vapor lamp solar street lights and one cycle operated battery charger (for rainy season back-up) for street lighting. SISED also distributed 110 number 3watt LED luminaires to 110 BPL housewives and 11number Bi-cycle powered battery chargers (10 families to share one charger) for home light charging. It also provided eight 36 watts CFL and two 18 watt CFL lighting system for different indoor and outdoor lighting applications.
4) Have taken feedback from the villagers in February 2008 and checked that the monthly income has increased to Rs.850/- per family in that area and children are studying extra 2 hours at night.

This was funded by JU, for Aurobinda Bhawan LED luminaires in corridors: 6,26,690/-
This was funded by JU, for Garden Lighting of Aurobinda Bhawan: 45,300/-
Under the Renovation and beautification works of Jadavpur University the gardens infront of / adjacent to Aurobinda Bhawan have been illuminated and beautified with LED based Solar Energy operated light fittings and also by CFL light fittings operated from the conventional electrical power under the proper guidance of the Director, School of Illumination Science, Engineering & Design, Electrical Engineering Department, J.U.
(IV) Milestones achieved……………“Deployment of Solar powered retrofit-CFL system to a non-electrified areas”
This UGC XIth plan Outreach Research Work was sanctioned on 01.06.2011
This was funded by JU, UGC XIth plan: 1,17,970/-
1. All the lanterns with extremely high quality have been developed in Illumination Engineering Laboratory of Jadavpur University and this development activity has been taken on experimental basis. We are glad to share the information that this solar powered lantern circuit has been taken from one of our ex-student’s project & thesis work.
2. The objective of this project is to provide lighting equipment to increase the study time of the selected bright but poor students of non-electrified villages and also to provide the solar power panel to use the solar energy to charge the lighting equipment and mobile phone.
3. SISED organized this program with the joint collaboration of Kolkata Police, Bali Nature and Wild Life Conservation Society & Wild life Protection Society of India.
4. On 15th September 2012, 38 number solar powered lanterns were distributed to 38 needy but meritorious school students of Bali; one non – electrified island of Sunderban. The main objective was to increase the study-time of the students in the evening and to increase the working time of their parents to earn livelihood. Every student was given an additional retrofit CFL. There is a special feature also – if required, students and their family members will be able to charge their mobile phones from this lantern fitting. Helpful demonstration was provided to all the selected students on how to use the lantern and user guide was distributed to them [Retrofit CFLs are used instead of LEDs in the lantern because it has been observed that repairing of LED lamp is almost impossible in the villages for its high cost and unavailability but CFLs are much available and more cost-effective.
