Big B Initiative: Solar Electricity to Villagers

Amitabh Bachchan’s intention to light up homes across rural India with solar power is known to many. The good thing is that he’s actively working towards achieving that.

Big B is well aware that with the country’s growing energy needs, renewable energy resources will play an important role in the future, and the least he wants to do is provide light to homes across the villages in India.

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is already working with several organisations/NGOs (Unforgettable was one such drive) in this initiative. One of the achievements was where they managed to provide solar lanterns to 100 villages across the world.

Big B strongly believes in this endeavor since he is aware that ’33 per cent of the universe is without electricity and a large part of this is in India.’

“USA and other developed countries might have caused global emission but all of us are victims and hence it’s time we take preventive measures. When it is a global challenge at hand, the Indian Film Fraternity sure does sit up and take notice,” Bachchan had said.
