Osla village, located
deep inside the Govind National Park, is an extremely remote Himalayan
settlement—reachable only after a 16 km trek. The region lacks reliable
electricity, digital access, and basic infrastructure. Most families depend on
subsistence farming and labour.
Samoon Adarsh
Vidhyalaya (SAV) is the only school providing 100% free education to
children from Osla and neighbouring villages. However, electricity challenges
prevent digital learning, limit teaching hours, and affect overall school
functioning.
A solar power system
is therefore essential to ensure uninterrupted learning, reduce carbon
footprint, and support the school’s vision of becoming a Green and Model
Digital School in the Western Himalayas.
Samoon Foundation
proposes the installation of an 8 kW Solar Power System with 10 kWh
battery backup, hybrid inverter, and 1-year AMC at Samoon Adarsh
Vidhyalaya (SAV) in Osla.
The system will power:
✔ 5 Classrooms
✔ 1 Computer Room
✔ 1 Office
✔ Lighting + Fans + Digital Devices
The project will
enable:
Total Project Cost: ₹10,00,000 (Including AMC + logistics +
batteries + digital device recharge needs)
Rooms & Loads:
Daily Load
Estimate:
≈ 15 kWh/day
Recommended Solar
System:
Solar PV Capacity: 8 kW
Hybrid Inverter: 8 kW MPPT
Battery Bank: 10 kWh usable
Generation: ~30–32 kWh/day (4 peak sun hours)
This will power
essential loads and allow smooth digital learning.

The Solar Power
Project at Samoon Adarsh Vidyalaya is a transformative sustainability
initiative that will ensure uninterrupted learning for mountain children,
enable digital education, and position SAV as a model Green School in the
Western Himalayas.
To avoid payment gateway charges (5% charges), it is suggest and request to pay directly to Samoon Accont
“SAMOON” is a Garhwali word that means giving selflessly, without expecting any returns along with a feeling to be cherished for a lifetime.
