Mitra Foundation began its carbon neutral campus program with CFL in April, 2006. Following an awareness session with the students, a joint energy audit was conducted to identify the appropriate renewable energy system to meet their requirements. Mitra then interfaced with technology suppliers to install the required system. CFL began fundraising for the installation by conducting a 'Walk to School' in August 2006.
Mitra Foundation along with its project partner, Peepal Foundation, is designing its first Marathi language energy awareness school progam and also facilitating installation of solar lighting system for this under privileged school.
Mitra Foundation conducts multi-media, lecture demonstrations using the concepts of decentralised, efficient, clean, renewable, democratic and sustainable energy choices which includes a project for ‘energy efficiency towards a carbon neutral campus’. The Project is designed in line with the Environmental Studies curriculum for High school students.
