Better Environment

IIEC successfully implemented an on-ground program for improved health services for socio-economic development in selected villages in Uttarakhand.
The focus was on providing solar electricity to Primary Health Clinics so that they are able to function more effectively and provide better care facilities for the local communities. The availability of 24x7 electricity in the Primary Health Clinics also ensured availability of resources to store necessary and life-saving medicines which was missing earlier. Through this initiative, IIEC has been able to mobilize the support of local communities and doctors and help build a sense of ownership amongst the villagers for this project. The local villagers and doctors in charge were trained for the day-to-day maintenance of the lighting system. Along with this, the project and equipment were official transferred to the Gram Panchayats and the doctors-in-charge, again an example of building a sense of ownership for the local community.
