  • Abstract:
  • This study explores the transformative impact of frugal solar innovations on rural livelihoods and education in Telangana, India. Based on interviews with 47 households representing over 200 individuals, the research highlights diverse rural experiences. The study focuses on Pagidipalli (Bibinagar Mandal), Gurrampode, Rajapet, and Peddagollapalli (Nalgonda District), where solar technologies are actively used. Findings reveal improved study time, school attendance, and income generation, especially among women and local enterprises. Adoption patterns align with Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory. Key challenges include limited maintenance and awareness. In light of Telangana’s pilot solar village initiative, the study advocates a scalable, community-led model to foster sustainable rural development.
