Project Goal: To ensure uninterrupted healthcare service delivery for communities through solar electrification across 8 PHCs/HWCs in Hardoi district of Uttar Pradesh

Project Target: Communities in the catchment area of the health facilities

Project Location: Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh

Access to electricity in healthcare facilities is an important factor in the efficacy of health service delivery. Even though 91 percent of PHCs in India had electricity connections in 2012-2013, almost half of them had irregular power supply. Solar electrification lessens the health center’s dependency on conventional energy, lowers electricity bills, and contributes to a reduced carbon footprint. One of the key outcomes is also that the health services are turning sustainable in operations. It helps in a better footfall of patients, optimum service delivery, and retention of the health staff contributing towards a healthy community. The intervention will support approximately 33,000 people per year through 1 PHC amounting to an estimate of approximately 2,60,000 people through 8 PHCs.
