Ahead of the third edition of Greenathon on June 4-5 this year, Campaign Ambassador Priyanka Chopra and NDTV's Vikram Chandra visit Manawas in Rajasthan, a village now lit up by solar power.
The second edition of the campaign helped raise over 3 crore to change lives in villages across the country through TERI's Lighting a Billion Lives initiative.
Here's a look at how money raised through the Greenathon changed lives in this village. -
Priyanka and Vikram meet villagers to find out how the green initiative has changed their lives.
Over 1.6 billion people in the world lack access to electricity; roughly 25 per cent are in India alone. For these people, life comes to a standstill after dusk. And it's the lives of these villagers that we hope to light up through this campaign.
