Even as Delhi and NCR reel under power cuts, solar energy is beginning to light up villages just a few miles into the countryside. The sun no longer sets on Nakshandabad. It continues to light up this small village in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh well past dusk. Even as most of its adjoining urban areas also plunge into darkness after sundown, the solar panels that adorn almost all rooftops here ensure uninterrupted supply that is sufficient to power a table fan and a fluroescent lamp through the night in each home.
