The Indo-German Energy Programme – Access to Energy in Rural Areas (IGEN-Access) is a bilateral cooperation project carried out by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Government of Germany and Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India. The objective of IGEN-Access is to create a conducive environment for rural renewable energy enterprises to make energy services easily accessible to the rural population.
We conducted a scoping study to examine the existing scenarios of agriculture and livelihood, and usage of energy. As part of study, we identified sustainable agricultural and livelihood diversification practices and recommended options for enhancing income from agriculture and allied services by increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy mix in the Kapasheda and Najafgarh sub-divisions of New Delhi.
