India has provided grant assistance worth Rs 55 million to Nepal for rural electrification through solar photo-voltaic cell technology in Parsa, Sarlahi, Baglung and Dhading districts. The project is expected to benefit about 1,400 households with over 15,000 people. This would also light community centres, schools, hospitals, VDC offices and public spaces, the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu said. The project will be executed by India's Central Electronics Ltd (CEL), Ghaziabad and through consumers committees in the villages under which each household is to get 75 watts of home lighting.
