Research fellow - Arvind Shukla
Fieldwork Overview:
Arvind Shukla travelled to two villages of Datia district in Bundelkhand, a drought-prone region in Madhya Pradesh, India to explore the impact of solar-powered irrigation. The video research project highlights that solar energy is bringing positive changes to rural agriculture. However, concerns remain about over-extraction of groundwater. This project captures farmers' voices, aspirations, and the policy gaps that need attention for a truly just energy transition.
