The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Dharwad is set to establish physical infrastructure for the adoption of clean energy (solar, wind and bioenergy) solutions to improve the lives and livelihoods of rural communities, its director said. In 2022, the institute tied up with SELCO India and Honeywell to establish the Global Centre for Excellence and Sustainable Energy. The centre had chosen Garag village in Dharwad district for the pilot project and the same model is emulated in other villages. With the innovative support from the Honeywell company, the project is working well in Garag village in terms of demonstrating livelihood applications.
