Suryamitra Skill Development Program was launched under the Prime minister’s Skill India Program, in the month of June 2015. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) assigned responsibility to National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) for a country-wide launch of the prestigious Suryamitra Skill Development Program with a target to develop 50,000 youth in Solar PV installation by the year 2019 for the country. Amity University Haryana is a recognized training partner by National Institute of Solar Energy, MNRE. The University has conducted 5 batches of Suryamitra Training Program in collaboration with NISE. Thereby contributing towards policy development of MNRE. Each batch consists of 30 participates who undergo training for 3 months at AUH in Solar PV installation. They are trained in Solar Photovoltaics and electrical engineering. At the end of the training the University provides support for placement of these trainees in solar industries.
The ‘Rural Innovation Incubator’(RII) at AUH is aimed at providing low cost need based technological solutions for rural areas which are technically feasible, economically viable, socially acceptable, environment friendly, consistent with household endowment and relevant to the needs of rural people. Under RII, students have done a survey of nearby villages and worked out on providng alternative solutions to the power and energy needs of these villagers. As a result, the incubator has ‘beta-tested’ Solar technology in Langra village. The Solar Street Lights and Solar Batteries have been installed and their results were monitored. The feedback has been taken from the local villagers which was very positive and enthusiastic.
It is worth mentioning that Amity rural innovation incubator is committed to rural innovation based ventures virtually through its execution partner in which Amity Venture fund will invest Seed Capital to take it to the next level. Execution partner will scout and select potential innovations and provide on ground incubation support to the ventures for running it successfully.
