It also works in the areas of rural sanitation, water harvesting, solar energy, and waste management, besides skill technology transfer to uplift the rural people. A stall of the Energy Management Centre has two equipment that help illustrate the need for illumination in a house. Another box has three different bulbs – 60 W incandescent bulb, 14 W CFL and 7 W LED. Pots used for Ayurveda ‘dhara treatment’ vases, those for nesting birds and so on can also be picked up here.
