National Conference on Renewable Energy for Development of Under-Developed Areas with particular reference to North-East India, 23-25 th March,2010
INTRODUCTION
Energy security and energy independency has taken centre-stage in every decision making throughout the world and sustainable and equitable development is the most important challenge before mankind in the present century. This is also likely to be one of the critical issues in the rural areas of developing countries including India. After food, most pressing concern is energy for a decent living and for meeting the needs of production activities in the rural areas. The energy consumption has been recognized world wide as a parameter of development in any society.
A general characteristics of under-deveopled areas including the north-east India is near total dependence on the biomass fuels for meeting their energy requirement by vast majority of the population. Severe pressure is created on the forest there by affecting the environment. Therefore, promotion and utilization of renewable energy is one of the ways out to meet the challenge on environmental degradation.
The energy use in under-developed areas including the north-eastern region is much below the national average. These areas with inaccessible terrain suffer from non-connectivity with GRID and thus experience from non-availability of energy. Renewable energy sector is important in these regions to meet the energy requirement in rural areas located in the dissected hilly and mountainous terrain of this land locked region.
To address the issue of energy requirement through renewable sources and to find out ways to meet the demand particularly in northeastern region of the country a comprehensive approach is required from professional working in the field. In this backdrop, the Department of Energy, Tezpur University is holding a National Conference on “Renewable Energy for development of the under developed areas with particular reference to North East India” jointly with North-East Centre for Research & Development, Guwahati, a constituent research centre of Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi.
