This is the Age of Electricity. Yet 55-60% of rural India has no electricity; drinking water supply is poor and a majority of rural population uses 180 million tons of biomass every year as fuel for cooking using primitive, inefficient and smoky chulhas. Rural India hasn't really changed much since Mahatma Gandhi's time. Villages can easily get electrified if modern hi-technology synergises with locally available resources. Biomass is an abundantly available local resource, obtained from agricultural residues India generates every year can theoretically produce 70,000 MW of electric power.
