The total amount to be disbursed for the two projects is around 14.8 million Yen. Details of each project are as follows:
(1) “The Project for Establishment of Basic School cum Vocational Training Centre for Underprivileged Children”
(Recipient Organization: Huda Educational and Social Welfare Society)
This project, the amount of which totals around 7.3 million Yen, proposes to construct a new school cum vocational training centre for underprivileged children in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh.
(2) “The Project for Solar PV Plant on the roof top of Vishnu Bhagwan Public School Hostel Building, Jhalwa, Allahabad”
(Recipient Organization: UTTHAN – Centre for Sustainable Development and Poverty Alleviation)
This project, the amount of which totals around 7.5 million Yen, will support the installation of a solar power generation system on the roof top of the school hostel for scheduled castes and tribes.
The Government of Japan hopes that these grants will help improve the lives of people in the project areas, and further strengthen the friendly relationship and cooperation between Japan and India.
