The gathering was then presided by Mr Manoj Sharma- Former industrialist and a self styled social entrepreneur. We were awed with the complete different perspective that we were asked to see - humanity and social conscience. It was altogether a different dimension we never experienced. The plight of the villagers who live in remote and interior parts of Uttarakhand state was vicariously felt by us. He gave an overview of his work he is doing in the remote villages of Uttarakhand. He wanted us to come up with a solution for the power management crisis he was facing in remote villages. He had actually set up micro-hydel power plants in those villages as river water was available but the problem was that the large amount of power was being unutilised as there was a meagre demand in those villages. He wanted an idea which could be implemented so that power is optimally used. If you have any novel ideas, please post your comments here along with your name and email id.
