AGROSOLAR / Solar Pumps

Although over 60% of Nepal’s working population is dependent upon agriculture, it contributed only around 32.79 % towards the gross domestic product in 2015. If we can provide sustainable, reliable and appropriate technologies like solar pumps to the farmers, it will help them farm throughout the year and increase their productivity. This will improve their financial condition and help them to get out of poverty cycle. The main goal of the project is to increase the resilience of farming communities to climate change by accelerating sales of small solar water pumps for irrigation, to increase the productivity of high-value horticulture.
