Abstract

In future energy plans, adequate attention has not been paid to rural areas. We have chosen a most backward Silora Block in Rajasthan to carry out a thorough study to assess energy potential, energy requirements, and the local technical expertise available to fabricate and maintain energy gadgets. This block has 110 villages, a total population of 91,350, and a total area of about 117,030 hectares. An analysis of the total energy potentials including biomass, solar energy and wind energy available in the entire area has been worked out. It is found that this area has plenty of energy and only needs proper management for its utilization. The total energy requirements for cooking, lighting, irrigation, rural industries, drinking water, hospitals, entertainment, etc. have been estimated and suitable ways are suggested for the effective utilization of renewable resources to meet the energy demands. Fabrication of solar appliances by village carpenters will also serve to reduce rural underemployment to some extent.
