I dont find this rational.. Why do the urban people always think that if there is no electricity based lampts, the village is dark.. do they know the dynamics of the villages?
Each village home, lights up themselves using Oil lamps or latest kerosene lamps. It may not be sophisticated, but we have to understand that they have a means to light themselves.
The need of the hour is to put science and engineering in enhancing the usability of the existing materials that they are using.
Please dont be in a utopian world.. Please dont think rural always means backward or dark.. Learn to acknowledge the different lifestyles, other than the sterile urban that you are used to.

I wonder how foolish one can get when one an opinion that the use and dependency of fossile fuel is equal to putting an astronaut on the moon? Wake up patriot! Its time that rural India moved on to use more appropriate products rather than make 'old crap' to be repackaged as being more suitable...

Good Job but Sharad Pawar and Bal Thackrey may not like this. You have made them poorer by 500 bucks and produced some potential defecters who would have otherwise voted these dirty leaders for one more term in return for empty promises. In fact our leaders just love poverty and haplessness. I hope the ligths glow for atleast an year
This is good work.. We need to be sensitive towards underprivileged... such efforts can substantially contribute to the various causes in rural india..
This is learninng by doing .This is what our eduction system needs to transform students into resourceful , responsible, capable, confidant citizens India can be proud of. I almost choked with emotions reading this , it is just brilliant !!!
Bravo people! You truly deserve an applause and Award like Padma Bhushan or something...not muffs like Aishwarya Rai and Saif Ali Khan who won it for their D-grade acting!

What does the article or the activity mentioned has anything to do with Aishwarya and Saif???
Just by praising the efforts and "recommending" an award does not absolve you from your responsibility. By saying " bravo" to someones else efforts does not entitles you to belittle others contribution.
Also community development, art, culture, sports, economics, education are different fields, but then again I didnt think you would get it.
Entire Tamil Nadu should be called Dark State due to power cuts. We need serious help from these kids. Good Job!!! People don't really need Govt to solve their problems, especially when the Govt and the politicians are their main problems. Few good men can change the quality of life with or without Govt's help.

who said TN is better.. Its the most BOGUS state in India. People vote Govt to power for a chicken biryani and there is no reliability of power, no good water to drink, the only river that chennai has is a stinking drain that even animals have stopped venturing into and chennaited live there and call it river side homes. I have lived in 20 states in India and I can vouch that Gujarat is the only state worthy of praise.
