charging station. This offers consumers savings of at least
30% over competing kerosene and diesel energy sources

people spread across 300 villages, and employing 350
people operating across the state of Bihar
Each plant serves around 400 households, saving 42k+ lt. of

evaluate the impact of education levels on the field of
entrepreneurship in general

Social entrepreneurship gives higher priority to social value
creation by catalyzing social change and catering to social
needs than to value capture
Many consider it very difficult, if not impossible, to quantify
socio-economic, environmental and social effects
