Solar Power in India<\/a> has terrific growth potential and it is attracting all sorts of people. A Solar Energy Program which would lead to electrification of villages in around 50 villages spread around India has been launched by controversial NGO\u00a0 Krishi Bikash Shilpa Kendra (KBSK).Note Solar Energy is a perfect fit for Indian Energy Needs given that a massive section of the population does not get power or have access to the power grid.A Number of non-profit companies like Orb Energy<\/a> are doing a fabulous job providing solar power to the masses using innovative bottom of the pyramid solar products.Note the details given in the PR by Krishi Bikash Shilpa Kendra (KBSK) were few except that 50,000 unemployed people would be provided jobs through their efforts .<\/p>\n

Krishi Bikash Shilpa Kendra (KBSK) members have\u00a0 been involved in the past in job heist schemes where they have fleeced money from unsuspecting villages using jobs as incentives.5 members of the organization had been arrested in West Bengal .The organization had also used the names of central officials and the national emblem to embezzle money from poor villages.It does not have an inspiring track record with a former secretary in jail as well.There is little details about how this NGO will go about this program or how it would get funds to do it as well.The website does not have too much information either.<\/p>\n
