Hope sometimes lives in most unexpected of places. For Bihar, India that place is rice husk, which now has become a source of shining light via electricity that 85 percent of the state’s population lacks. The entrepreneurial zeal of four guys has transformed the poorest state in India into a beacon of innovation. Who knows, this innovation might soon become the micro-lending of non-grid electricity. The electricity that is being produced from rice husks has proved to be eco-friendly, cheap, and sustainable. For 80 rupees per month or about $1.50, villagers now can have electricity they can be proud of and make use of for children’s education and household works. This innovative technology promises hope particularly for countries like India and in sub-Saharan Africa where the population is largely poor.
