Solar Ambassadors: 1200 students skilled on Solar Lamp Assembly during 2024-25

The Forest and Environment Department, Government of Sikkim, under the Environment Education Programme (EEP), successfully created Solar Ambassadors through a series of hands-on skilling workshops. These workshops were conducted as part of the Mission LiFE initiative – “Save Energy” – with the objective of promoting the use of renewable and clean energy among school students and teachers by imparting basic skills in solar technology.

During the workshops, participants—including both students and teachers—were trained in assembling solar study lamps. The hands-on activities included soldering Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), connecting LEDs, controllers, ICs, and other essential components. These sessions equipped participants with practical knowledge and technical skills to support clean energy solutions at the grassroots level. As a result of these workshops, a total of 1,200 student solar ambassadors were created. These ambassadors are expected to further advocate the use of solar energy within their schools and communities. Solar study lamp sets and tool kits were provided to participating schools to support the assembly, operation, and maintenance of the lamps. The initiative also aimed to sensitize students about energy conservation and promote sustainable practices in their daily lives.
