Switching over to solar-powered atta chakkis can dramatically reduce the running costs of the mill. Loans and government benefits are in place to encourage mill owners and managers to make the transition. And yet – there is resistance, grounded in unfamiliarity. Surya Chakra creates platforms for people to address their concerns, become more knowledgeable, and find more comfort with the use of solar panels.
Ultimately, the goal of Surya Chakra is to help agriculture workers reduce costs and improve profits – all while contributing to a more sustainable world for all.
