“The Mithun Rural Development Foundation (MRDF) targets 100% adoption of mini-grids by Mon district households”

• • The program aims to provide reliable access to electricity for the last mile and promoting the adoption of green energy sources, covering 1000 villages in the next seven years.

In conjunction with NABARD and Smart Power India [SPI], the MRDF team has just installed the first three-phase productive load in the state of Nagaland. The 7.5 HP rice huller installed on the 27th of January in Longkei village, Mon district, was powered completely by the village’s recently installed solar mini-grid. The consistent and high quality electricity provided by our mini-grid is one that local entrepreneurs can confidently rely on, creating fertile conditions for the development of micro-enterprises. Moreover, this milestone propels us towards achieving our aim of increasing village incomes by 20% year-on-year, an objective at the heart of our effort.

This marks the first micro-enterprise to be incubated by our team in the region, one of over 1300 we hope to incubate across 132 villages in Mon district over the next three and a half years, and over 10,000 across Nagaland in the next decade. These are invariably powered by renewable electricity, ensuring climate conscious development where it is most necessary.

The Mon District Administration, Government of Nagaland, and Mithun Rural Development Foundation (MRDF) sign a 20-year agreement to set up mini-Grids in rural Nagaland.
