Sustainable Energy
Being the leading R & D organization in the country, we at CSIR have taken a firm stand to utilize resources judiciously and thus we are working in the direction of sustaining energy. “Solecshaw,” a Pedicab, is an optimally designed, pedal-operated, and motor assisted, zero-carbon emission, urban transport vehicle. It is the flagship program of the recently launched initiative of CSIR We have thus taken several initiatives to optimize energy in a manner which is in most conducive ecologically.
