Social innovation has been hard at work, devising and applying creative ideas to solve development issues.

Enterprises like Businesses like Claro Energy are using solar panels to power tube wells. Similarly, businesses like Barefoot Power are lighting up huts with solar lamps and enabling children to complete their homework while the likes of Avani Bio Energy are creating energy out of pine needles.

In this elite company are also other inspired Indian startups that cater to low-income communities like Indian Wildlife Club, Drishti Eyecare, Daily Dump and Grow Trees - all a part of the growing Ennovent Network.

This world environment day, let’s all get together and discuss this:

How can private enterprise promote renewable energy practices?
