(1/5) Access to uninterrupted electricity was wishful thinking for Kedar Prasad Mahto and other locals of Byang village in Jharkhand. 
(2/5) The erratic power cuts made it difficult for farmers to use water pumps for irrigation, affected businesses and disturbed the students during their studies.
Kedar, a 33-year-old electrician with the state electricity board department was determined to build a solution.
Kedar, a 33-year-old electrician with the state electricity board department was determined to build a solution.
(3/5) He started procuring discarded materials from scrap vendors and collecting electrical equipment. Using this, he created a concrete column on the river and fitted a turbine with a magnet, coil, motor, armature and other parts.
(4/5) With this, he was able to create a 5kW power generation plant.
The electricity generated illuminates about 45 100-watt power bulbs in the village!
What else? Kedar has ensured the design can function even with low-pressure water flow observed during summers.
