Rural Development of North East India through Mini-Grids.
MRDF has identified Mon district in Nagaland as the geographical area to initiate this development mission with support from government authorities. This model of triggering local socio-economic development using DRE based mini grid platform will be scaled across NE India in partnership with key stakeholders. MRDF also intends to develop a policy and regulatory environment in Nagaland for distributed renewable energy solutions. The project will be based on PPPP model (Public-Private-Peoples Partnership) where the government, people and social enterprise come together to build an ecosystem for integrated rural development.
