The Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems’ is one of the most useful and popular applications of Solar Energy for meeting irrigation needs. The Govt. of India is formulating many schemes to support the Solar Water Pumps for the farmers. It aims to incentivize farmers to run solar farm water pumps and use barren land for generating solar power to have extra income.
Installation of such a large number of ‘Solar Pumps’ would necessarily need ‘Trained and Skilled’ manpower for installation/ commissioning as well as for repair/ maintenance. To fulfil this need, NISE is organizing a specialised ‘Training Programs on Solar Water Pumping Systems’ on ‘PAN India’ basis to impart the knowledge and guidance in design, installation, commissioning, safety, and operation & maintenance of the solar water pumping systems. The aim is to create a ‘Pool of Trained and Skilled Workforce’, who will be called ‘VARUNMITRAS’.

VSDP aims to develop the skills of youth, considering the opportunities for employment in the growing Solar Water Pumping Project’s installation, operation & maintenance in India and abroad.
