80-90% of Delhi’s slum population have no access to electricity. Homework and studies are done in total darkness because of the lack of electricity and frequent power cuts. Resulting in low academic performance and even drops out of school. As a solution to this problem, Salaam Baalak Trust in association with Salaam Baalak Trust , designed a school bag with solar panels and LED lights. The bag got charged when the children walked to school and at school. At night, the bag became a study lamp – and acted as their very own light source. An innovation that’s just perfect.
