A staggering 40% of our country’s population still uses the kerosene lantern as their main source of lighting. In the age of efficient and affordable lighting solutions, it is the bitter truth that we as a nation must accept. Million SoUL is an IIT Bombay initiative where people work to localise solar energy through local assembly, sale and usage of 1 million Solar Urja Lamps (SoUL) in India. The team is rigorously working to enable children in the rural parts of India to study without dependence on primitive forms of lighting such as kerosene lamps. This project is an attempt to redesign the lamp made by Million SoUL so as to improve its usability, reduce overall cost and also bring a comprehensive change with respect to the current design.
