The document outlines a program called RE-Source Points (RSP) to address the lack of access to electricity and clean energy for 500 million people in rural India. The RSP model establishes local business partners who act as one-stop providers for all energy needs in villages. They facilitate access to decentralized off-grid solutions like home lighting, biogas, drinking water purification, and more. The partners are supported by Smart Energy Ventures and government agencies and can generate income through various solutions and services. The goal is to economically develop rural communities by overcoming hurdles like awareness, affordability and accessibility of clean energy solutions.
