PROJECT OORJA

"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."
- Dan Quayle

Currently, there are around 2,00,000 street vendors in the Delhi NCR region and a large portion of this community rent electrically charged lamps on a daily basis.
These street vendors earn a measly amount of Rs. 66 per day on an average, out of which they are forced to pay Rs. 20 per day to the lamp owner. 

Project Oorja seeks to tackle this problem with our unique Solar LED Oorja lamp that has been specifically designed to cater to these vendors' problems.
Project Oorja provides these vendors with an opportunity to break free from the exploitative rental system and switch to a cleaner, cheaper and more efficient source of lighting. 
During the daytime, the Oorja lamp has to be charged and once it is charged fully, 
it can be used throughout the evening.

Project Oorja was the winner of the Blue Dart Empowering Competition Grant 2017 as well as the Enactus Mahindra Rise Competition 2016.
