Portable solar power banks can bring down costs of electricity for every individual and household, explained Padma Shri Janak McGilligan Palta to a group of National Service Scheme
(NSS) cadets on Saturday. The female cadets were visiting Jimmy McGilligan Centre for Sustainable Development to learn about various renewable energy resources and possible applications.
A standard power bank stores power and let you charge your other devices on the go, when needed. “Similarly, a solar power bank works the same way, just instead of electricity, it uses the sun (through the built-in solar panels) to charge itself,” Janak explained.
She added that the accumulated power is fed into the rechargeable batteries, which will hold that power until you need it. “This is little switch from electricity powered power banks to solar power banks can eventually save hundred to thousand rupees based on the consumption and application,” Janak said.
She quoted that residents of Indore in a cumulative figure pay about Rs 3 crore every month for electricity ,only chrging phones and other rechagable technologies. “With application of solar technology, we can save 36 crores of Rs every year and save energy and environment and we get freedom of movement with secure and clean power supply,” Janak said.
Another application that can help in reducing our bio foot-print were foldable, portable, box type, parabolic solar cookers and a purposely designed solar kitchen with scheffler dish made by late Jimmy McGilligan.
Cadets and NSS officer Rajbala were inspired by pollution free Briquettes made with recycled old newspaper for cooking during rainy season.
Professional clown from Spain cheered everyone
Monica Santos a professional clown from Spain was the guest of honour. In her address, she expressed her delight to see the centre and meet students.
“The aim of my life is to make people happy especially in pain, so what’s better than being a clown and making everyone smile,” Monica said. She would be visiting various private hospitals on Sunday to cheer up patients as well.
“One can build positivity and even move the biggest mountains if we are committed to it, and it all starts with lighting up a sad face with a smile,” Monica said. She quoted the importance of taking care of environment for truly being healthy and happy.
“If we take good care of environment, then there will be lesser pain and health problems, it is natural that environment will take care of us,” Monica said.
