Green gold for lighting up homes, saving commons [1]

Environment, in the Indian context, is closely linked to economic and sustainable development, a fact borne out by the winners in the environment category of the Times of India Social Impact Awards 2012.

A company that lights up poor homes with solar energy, an agricultural university that helps farmers improve yields with new technologies, and two non-governmental organizations working with people to revive shared resources were the jury’s picks for the year.
