About
Telkuwa Solar water pumping project is first of its kind built under public private partnership model. The pump delivers 85,000 liters per day of irrigation water to a group of farmers. We have used a 5HP pump and 5KW solar module, depth of the boring is almost 80 feet.
This project has direct impact on the livelihood of the local farmers. Availability of water for irrigation will bring rays of hope for the poor farmers who had to depend on the gods for rain. This project empowers farmers, because now they will be able to do vegetable as well as off season farming. Along with solar PV water pumping, modern agricultural techniques such as drip irrigation and poly houses should be introduced to make greater impact on these farmer’s lives.
Saral Urja since its inception has believed in bringing positive impact in the lives of underserved people. To support this initiative, Saral Urja contributed NPR 364,220 in cash towards the project. This is also one of the largest solar PV water pumping projects for irrigation in Nepal.
