High Impact CSR Partnership
Shyam PatraNaturetech Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.
Objective• To form a Synergy between
Social Businesses and Corporate for Implementing a holistic and sustainbale CSR model
• To act as a one stop solution for rural clean energy access
• To grow beyond a philanthropy model for CSR into a Integrated Smart Solar Village model, whose inhabitants will have access to all the developmental inputs

Existing CSR Approach
• Philanthropy
• Co – operation based on exisiting value chain and through Internal network
• Narrow Definition for Development and Impact
• Lagging in Scope and Implementation
• Short-term Impact & Missing Sustainable Link
Lack of Access to Electricity
- Kerosene pollution- Wood Burning- Health Hazards- High rate of Crime
Outdated Schools
- No technology access- Lack of power- Outdated Learning
material
Medieval Toilets
- No overhead tank for flushing
- Highly unclean- Disesase Prone
Unsafe Drinking Water
- Open water source- Infested with disease
carrying parasites
Common Problems in Rural Areas
The thread connecting them all is Lack of Access to Electricity which prohibits development on any front
Life without Electricity
• Out of India’s 1.2 billion population, about 400 million lack access to electricity
• Approx. 50% of which resides in U.P and Bihar
• Without access they are forced into a life of abject poverty and under-development
Does any sustainable & cost effective Solution Exist?
Smart Solar Village Model
• Electricity– Creating permanent Solar Microgrid based
Infrastructure at the village level– Customised to the needs of the village and
Scalable on Demand– Catering to all the electricity needs – Fundamental transformation in access to energy
and technology
Smart Solar Village Model
• Sanitation– Problem: Cleaner toilets require modern flushing
Manual Scavenging is highly unclean and disease prone
– Need: Pump to lift water to O/H water tank
– Solution: Water Pump powered by Solar Energy
Smart Solar Village Model
• Safe Drinking Water
– Problem: No electricity for water filtering Unit & no O/H water tank
– Need: Small Water Filtering Unit with storage option
– Solution: Reliable electricity from a Roof-top Solar Plant powering water pump & water filtering unit
Smart Solar Village Model
• Water Pumping for Irrigation
– Problem: Diesel genset based pumping, which is polluting and un-sustainable in long-run. As on date water is most expensive in-gredient for farmer
– Need: Diesel free water pumps with optional mobility
– Solution: Full-day running AC Solar Water Pump with built-in water channels with optional mobility
Smart Solar Village Model
• Smart Class-room Based Education– Problem: No trained Tutors & no electricity in class
room
– Need: Electricity, computers, smart class AV systems (e-pathsala solutions)
– Solution: Reliable Electricity from Roof-top solar plant that powers multi-media based learning material in regional languages
What Can We Do?
Role of Corporate
• Financial Support for Implementing innovative & Sustainable technology interventions
• Narrowing down the policy framework to activities which makes maximum impact
• Establishing Decentralized Energy Supply as a new frontier for CSR Activities
• Synergy in terms of Capacity building and Straregic partnerships for brand recognition
ROI?
Tangible/Intangible
Social Return on Investment • For each Solar Microgrid or Smart School supported:
– Bringing difference to lives of 30 families or about 150-200 persons and all kids studying in the school, translating to• Quality Education & healthier ambience for kids in school as well
as back in their homes• Better maternal and kids health with lower internal pollution and
clean toxic-free environment• Increase in economic activity and earnings
– Preventing burning of about 2000 ltrs of kerosene /annum/village– Emission reduction of 2 tonnes of CO2/annum /1 KW Solar– Green energy generation by 1500 units/annum/KW– Saving diesel of 500 ltrs/annum/KW of Solar PV– Promoting Sustainable Rural Entrepreneurs– Generating Rural Employment– Increase in the enrolment of girls in school with clean toilets and
safe drinking water
Something Inspirational Beyond ROI ?
… Respect, Pride, Sense of Contribution to the Society
