Project Objective:  Delivering an adequate level of health care services in remote regions presents many  challenges. One of those challenges is to provide facilities with a reliable source of electricity. In both primary and secondary care situations, electrical power is often fundamental to the services that a public health system renders. Its absence at any moment can have dire consequences. 

Site Location: Kamarul Health Clinic at Kamarul in Terokhada Upazila under Khulna district.  It may be mentioned that the clinic is located at a remote place which is about 13 km away from Upazila HQ and there is a very little prospect to cover the area under national grid network in the near future.

System Capacity: 1500 watt

Appliances: 20 Lamp (CF), 8 Fan, O.T. Light and a vaccine refrigerator.

Operation and Maintenance  (O& M) : The responsibility of operation and maintenance has been entrusted with a local NGO SJS.
