Center For Alternative Energy Research

Out here in Jhalda, specifically in the Namopara area, we have our little center. We are the Center For Alternative Energy Research. Purulia is a bit far out from the main city buzz, which actually suits us fine. We spend our days looking into different ways of handling energy. It’s a lot of experimenting and seeing what works in a place like this. The office isn't anything special to look at, just a building in the district of West Bengal. We’ve got the 723202 pin code. We mostly deal with the locals and try to figure out practical things. Sometimes it feels like we are a long way from the big tech hubs, but the work here is real. People around Namopara know us as the guys always messing with gadgets or reading manuals. We don't have a big budget for fancy stuff, so we make do with what we have. It’s a lot of trial and error. The weather out here in Purulia can be quite something, especially in the summer, but we just keep at it. We are not a big corporation, just a group of people interested in how energy can be used differently. It’s slow work sometimes, and frustrating when things don’t go right, but that is just how research goes. We take it one day at a time and try to stay productive. There is always a new problem to solve when we walk through the door and get our coffee.
