Solar Flour Mill (Chakki)
Problems
- Long travel time due to non- availability of flour mills in the village and people have to travel to city to get wheat crushed on daily basis.
- Long waiting time as backlog at grid operated flour mill shop due to frequent power breakdown in the city during the day.
- Repeated visit to flour mill shops as people have to go back or wait for grid power to resume and then wait again for their turn.
- Co2 emission from diesel operated flour mills.
- High cost of crushing wheat from diesel operated and grid operated flour mills.
- Higher fuel cost as people have to make repeated visits to flour mill shop due to grid failure and again increase in pollution from motor bikes.
- Incorrect electricity bills sent to consumers which is on higher side.
- No peace of mind due to above problems effecting health of the people.
