Are the Objectives met?
Conclusion and Learnings
Component A needs some slight modifications
as generators do not make up sufficient profits
to cover their costings
Stakeholder’s Engagement
Component B of the KUSUM Scheme can boost
to small scale vendors who make solar based
pumps

To boost adoption of solar energy, tariff
