“…Ø Awareness of energy consumption and management: Awareness among the students and the teachers of the primary schools in terms of energy consumption patterns and the need for a paradigm shift to sustainable energy alternatives, can support towards improving the lives of the children in a long run. Ø Policies for energy efficient schemes: India's LED bulb program, 'The UJALA Programme', has become a world-class success story by providing subsidized energy efficient bulbs to the economically challenged households in the rural areas (Nahar, Hasib, George, & Mukherjee, 2018). To achieve intensive electrification for the rural primary education institutions, a competitive business model like the 'UJALA Scheme' needs to be developed.…”

Quality education and schools have a key role to play in the sustainable development of society. Unfortunately, many remote communities in developing countries fail to enjoy access to quality education due to a lack of electricity, thereby interrupting regular school services in the villages. The main objective of the paper contributes to understanding the importance of the energy-education accord, and aims to curb the social challenges prevailing in the villages. Specifically, the paper suggests a technical intervention by designing a hybrid renewable energy system for such schools. The approach is demonstrated through a case study with a load demand of approximately 4 kWh/d, comprising a class size of 40 students. A techno-economic evaluation of the energy system reveals the levelized cost of energy of the system at USD 0.22 per kWh, which may be affordable considering number of other aspects, outlined in this paper, to enable a larger uptake of such systems in developing countries. ©2019.
