The Hands-on training on Solar Study Lamp Assembly is a part of the Gandhi Global Solar Yatra (GGSY), initiated by Prof. Chetan Singh Solanki, Department of Energy Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay. As a part of this yatra, a Students Solar Ambassador Workshop is organized on the 2nd October 2019, marking the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Under this workshop, more than 1 Million Students will assemble their own solar study lamps across the globe and will pledge to Non-Violence towards Environment.
‘Solar Study Lamp’ is a lighting device consisting of a solar PV module, battery, LED, and electronics. Battery, LED, and electronics are placed in a plastic housing.The look of the lamp is similar to a table lamp wherein the lamp base is connected to the LED via flexible gooseneck. The solar lamp uses 1 Watt LED as the light source and houses 3.2 Volt, 2000 mAh rechargeable Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery to store the power. A 2.5 Watt Solar Panel charges the lamp during daytime. The lamp is designed to provide 5-6 hours of study light every day throughout the year.
This workshop is expected to be taking place at 10,000-15,000 locations. Till date, 101 countries have registered to be a part of this mega-global event. This course has been designed for Master Trainers. They will be able to understand climate change, energy sustainability and will learn to assemble a solar study lamp. The course also lays protocols for conducting the Students Solar Ambassador Workshop.
A similar workshop was organized last year also, wherein over 1.32 lakh students participated in this mega-global event, of which 5,000 students came to IIT Bombay campus, which was also a Guinness World Record event.
This course contains 11 modules and 26 sections. The module will contain reading materials, videos, and quizzes, etc. For the successful completion of the course and to receive the due certification, the pursuant should complete the quiz at the end of each module.
Individuals cannot participate in this workshop any institute can participate and can register on our website <www.ggsy.in/collaborate>. If an individual wishes to participate as a Master Trainer, they need to approach the institution and make them register on our website.
