Ram used to live in a remote village of Rajasthan which didn’t have electricity. He was a good student and studied very hard to become an engineer in spite of all hardships. While studying, he came to know that solar energy can be converted to electrical energy by using specially designed devices. He went to his village and discussed it with villagers. He also told them that Govt. also gives subsidy for using solar devices. All the villagers agreed and they contacted the Govt. officials who obliged their request and the village became the model village which used solar energy for electricity.
