In the Indian state of West Bengal, solar power is no longer just something students learn about in their science textbooks. Now they get to see it in action every day, and their schools can count on reliable power thanks to West Bengal’s Sunshine Schools project. 

Run by the West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency, the project is bringing reliable energy to the state’s classrooms, generating savings that are enriching teaching, adding practical lessons to the school curriculum, and spreading knowledge of solar power in isolated rural areas.
