Installation in Progree A 3Kw hydroger was installed in the first week of April 2014 by the team with active support from the villagers. After providing light to the village, it was seen that the children find it very convenient to study at night, while the grownups especially the women are enjoying the experience of engaging in more productive activities due to presence of sufficient lighting throughout the night while men folks have more hours to put into improving their handicrafts and blacksmith works.
