Keeping in mind the Role of Engineers in rural development,NSS-VIIT going to install 128 solar lamps (1 per house) in Jamgaon. The technical work & testing of lamps is already in final stages.The lamps are constructed by our own volunteers in viit college itself. One lamp has already been installed in the village in the only temple of bhairavnath in Jamgaon. The village has no electricity for 8-10 hours a day due to load shedding.
