Access to water is a main challenge across many villages in the hilly areas of Nepal. Raksirang -9, a remote underserved community is no exception. Every day children walk several hours to a local spring to fetch water for the house before they go to school. In response to the water problem, Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC), Government of Nepal’s institution for renewable energy, proposed the project Piloting of Solar-PV Multiple Use Water Systems (MUS) in Raksirang VDC, Makwanpur under a pro-poor public private partnership model. The project uses Solar Energy to pump water from the designated sources towards respective villages. It aims to provide water for drinking and irrigation across Raksirang-9. In addition to providing water, the project is seeking to modernize agricultural methods by encouraging adoption of drip irrigation and a poly-house. The project mainly intends to supply water for drinking and irrigation. The project also aims to build Raksirang as a vegetable hub and seeks to support develop the agricultural value chain which would directly connect farmers with vegetable sellers in nearby towns.
