Tally Solutions Pvt. Limited (TSPL), a pioneer in the business software products arena, today announced
their association with Light For Education (LiFE) - a
unique education and sustainability oriented social initiative by the SELCO
Foundation. In support of the initiative, the Technology Alumni Association of
Bangalore (Alumni Association of IIT - Kharagpur in Bangalore) organized a
fundraiser called the Light For Education (LiFE) Music Fest on
21st March, 2015 at the Hotel Royal Orchid Hotel, Old Airport Road, Bangalore.
The “Light for Education” initiative is the brainchild of SELCO
founder and Magsaysay Award winner, Dr. Harish Hande. The initiative’s primary
goal was to provide solar lamps for school children in areas without
electricity. Under the scheme, Solar Panel and Charging Station are installed
in rural schools and lamps and battery packs are given to students from
un-electrified homes.
The school becomes the charging station for the lights. Students bring lamps to school for charging in morning and carry them back in the afternoon for study at home. SELCO has created impact in more than 200,000 households in Karnataka with solar lighting and has a special focus on linking sustainable energy to education. Over the years, SECLO has been working with individuals, NGIs and corporate organizations to scale up the initiative.
