India

Gram Oorja (“Energy for Villages” in Hindi) is a social enterprise based in India that addresses
grassroot challenges through distributed renewable energy solutions. We respond directly to a
large spectrum of rural community needs – from lack of electricity for households, schools,
clinics, water supply and productive activities, to traditional fuel use for cooking. Our approach
integrates communities as part of solution-building, implementation and long-term
management, thus building a sustainable local ecosystem that delivers sustained impacts on
people’s livelihoods and human development. Gram Oorja has deployed over 280 community
energy systems across India positively impacting over 80,000 lives.
