There is a strong need for the development of a low cost
reliable lamp set for mass use in village level, which is virtually maintenance
free, it has a long life cycle, consumes very less power could by powered/
recharged by any renewable source of energy and which daily serve the village
level lighting needs during the activities of cooking, moving around and
reading by the villagers.
While ligt emitting diode based illumination is a potential
answer to this problem. There are various models of white light emitting diode
lamps called tukimara. Tukimara sometimes defined as a kerosene killer. These
technologies are basically tiny from layers of silicon, seeded with atoms of
phosphorous or germanium or arsenic or other rare –earth elements.
Implication and advantage
- Rural people will have and easy access to radio broadcast services
- This is a very good example of waste to energy technology
- Risk of firebreaks in rural areas due to kerosene lamps will back drastically reduced.
- It helps to enhance the human development index of Nepal in the global context.
- Increase in people’s health , education and awareness
