Solar Power for Remote Schools:
Project
Description: This project will provide solar power to
four schools in the remotest villages in the Samdrup
Jongkhar
Dzongkhag. The schools, all of which were established in
the 1990s, are:
1. Minjiwoong Junior High School (established 1991)
2. Zanthey Community School (established 1992)
3. Dungmanma Community School (established 1995)
4. Louri Primary School (established 1997)
All these schools are located at about one to three days'
walk from the nearest motor road. In spite of this, the
enrolment has been increasing yearly.
The
main reason for proposing this project was that even after
the commission of the Kurichu Hydro Power, it was unlikely
that these regions would get electricity in the near future.
The terrain is too difficult to build power grids for the
supply of electricity.
It
is estimated that 28 solar sets will be needed for the four
schools. The budget will include the cost of the solar sets
and accessories and their installation. Each school's support
staff will be trained to maintain the equipment and be responsible
for its functioning. Furthermore, the school will sign contracts
with the suppliers of the solar sets for timely maintenance
of the equipment. A provision in the annual school budget
will meet the maintenance costs.

School in Paro in improving its existing facilities. These
facilities will also benefit the Non-formal Learners (mainly
adults and women) who use the school premises in the evenings

are few remote pockets which are very poor and do not get
to share the facilities of the richer and more accessible
areas. Nabesa is one such remote and backward village with
no electricity and motor road access.
