| The long and dark wait for the residents of Gonde village ended when Mahindra Intertrade, Nashik installed 47 energy efficient street lights. This initiative directly benefited the entire village comprising over 8000 villagers. Indirectly, it benefited the residents of 11 other neighbouring villages as for them night travel became more convenient. |

The streetlights installed are the energy-efficient CFLs with low maintenance instead of conventional Sodium vapor lamp. These fixtures are fitted with automatic timer on-off controller accounting for energy savings of 30,535 units/annum and cost savings of INR. 122,000/annum. |

All the streetlight poles carry sustainability awareness slogans. Such a small endeavour has positively increased the awareness of sustainability among the villagers. |
