To begin with, in December 2025, we conducted a field survey amongst 25 people with support from Arya Energy’s network, to assess local energy usage patterns and identify gaps in access; as well as to understand current awareness levels around renewable sources suitable to regional geography (like solar, biogas, or micro-hydro) amongst families from underserved communities in and around Chhattisgarh. The insights served as the foundation for shaping the project's direction and initiatives further.
Alongside the survey mentioned above, we conducted a field visit to Arya Energy, located in Raipur, for the local community folk, to visit a renewable energy plant and learn about the industry, potential employment, and urgency for sustainable development. The visit, carried out in mid-January 2026, involved a survey of the site to assess basic needs as well as through these learnings, enhance access to resilient and ecologically conscious infrastructure.
