The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission

is one of the most important technological-cum-societal initiatives announced by the

government in recent years. It has the potential

of simultaneously increasing the awareness and

use of clean energy, of transforming life in rural

areas, and also kick-starting a major new industry

segment. As part of this mission, the National

Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education

(NCPRE) was set up by the Ministry of New and

Renewable Energy at IIT Bombay in 2010.

The NCPRE is a major national resource in the

Photovoltaic (PV) area, both for research and

education. One of the goals for NCPRE is to have

a strong interaction with the solar PV and allied

industries in India through an outreach initiative.

Towards this goal, NCPRE is launching the

“Industry Affiliate Programme”.
