This news report from Eco India (a collaboration between DW and Scroll.in) explores three distinct stories of innovation and social struggle in India. It first examines how retrofitting conventional vehicles with electric kits—a process that costs significantly less than buying new EVs—can help cities like Delhi transition to green energy more equitably by making electric mobility accessible to lower-income vehicle owners.
The segment on women farmers highlights their ongoing fight against patriarchal social structures that often deny them land ownership and a voice in decision-making, despite their being the backbone of the agricultural workforce. Finally, the report features a quirky but practical green energy solution: a poultry farm that generates biogas-powered electricity from chicken droppings, significantly cutting energy costs while preventing methane emissions from entering the atmosphere.
