Bharata Mata College in Kochi, India Goes 100% Solar

I just saw this piece of delightful weekend news and had to post to this blog, after ignoring it for a long time: A College called Bharata Mata College in the city of Kochi (Cochin) India has gone 100% solar for it's own power needs. As India is a countyry that receives sunlight across it's length and breadth for more than 12 hours a day for 325+ days a year, this is an example that every single educational institution in the country could emulate. Not only would it help reduce power costs in a country with extremely expensive electricity, it would also help reduce pollution in one of the most polluted nations in the world. Well done, Bharata Mata College! Thank you for setting a fantastic example!
