This creates considerable challenges in all areas of society and in rural and urban regions. Restricted access to energy, be it for private households, industrial enterprises or service providers, limits opportunities for economic development and poverty reduction. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has taken several steps to fructify Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s dream of clean energy. The largest renewable capacity expansion programme in the world is being taken up by India. The government is aiming to increase share of clean energy through massive thrust in renewables. Core drivers for development and deployment of new and re- newable energy in India have been Energy security, Electricity shortages, Energy Access, Climate change etc.In 2015 India set itself the ambitious goal of generating 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, including 100 GW from Solar PV systems. Several sectors such as airports, ports, warehouses, religious establishments, government buildings, canal tops, stadiums etc. can be the host of the large capacities of rooftop solar energy power plants. As far as Indian Sport Facilities are con- cerned, these do not qualify for any government subsidies or incentives and therefore are prone to implement solar energy plants with international developers and components to make them the Lighthouse projects for the renewable energy movement in India. However, initial support is required by such institutions for the adoption of solar energy projects. Accordingly, in order to create the awareness GIZ has supported the Karnataka State Cricket Association for the imple- mentation of rooftop solar photovoltaic power plant of suitable capacity at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium at Bangalore. The main objective of the campaign is to promote sustainability and especially solar rooftops through sports. MNRE in co- operation with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has aligned with GIZ (German Development Cooperation) to further solarize Indian Stadia. Th e main aim is to show best practice models from Germany where a “Solare Bundesliga” had been established in the context of the soccer worldcup, which took place in 2006.

  • SMCC Exec Meeting 5 March 2012
    Dear all, Firstly, many thanks to everyone who attended and supported the club last weekend. A wonderful evening celebrating the 3rd XI promotion and the 4th XI survival with some vital funds raised for the Pavilion appeal. If you would like to help with the fundraising, either organisationally or through a donation, please contact me and I can direct you appropriately. The final week of the season brought some good individual performances. Will Williamson (93), Jack Hughes (76), Tom Adams (49*) did well with the bat whilst Luke Harris (3-31 in his 1s debut), Gautham Hariharan (4-20), Matthew Yates (3-30) and Brijesh Patel (3-28) impressed with the ball. There was also a fine all round effort from Paul Corns who scored an unbeaten first league 50 and also bowled an excellent opening spell. However, the Player of the Week is Jack Hughes who helped the 4s achieve the bonus points required to survive in the Premier Division. Well done all! The league season is finished, but there are still a few friendly games left over the next few weeks - if you’d like a game next week, please inform Raj Patel for Saturday cricket on [email protected], 07983 452 211 or Mark Bartolo for Sunday cricket on 07830 655 335.

  • Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju Book
    It gives me immense pleasure to inform that Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju has done exemplary service to Andhra Cricket Association. I know Dr. Gangaraju and his father and both of them are people of noble heart. They are always keen to serve the society. Recently I inaugurated the picturesque twin grounds at Mulapadu in Krishna District. I also inaugurated the first- ever historical Test match at Visakhapatnam. After taking a look at the grounds and other infrastructure in different districts of A.P, I am thrilled by the dedicated efforts put in by Dr. Gangaraju and his team. I requested Dr. Gangaraju to give a proposal for developing adventure sports on the hillocks of Mulapadu and other sports infrastructure across the State. Top officials of BCCI, recognising his services made him the Vice President of BCCI. I would like to appreciate Dr. Gangaraju, his team of office bearers and members of ACA, who stood by him in all his endeavours in moulding ACA as a role model association in the country. 1 1 I take it as honour to inform that Andhra Cricket Association, under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju, has made tremendous progress in terms of development of game and infrastructure across the state of AP. I have been watching Dr. Gangaraju in BCCI meetings. He comes to the meetings with one agenda - to seek facilities to ACA, demand postings for ACA members in sub committees of BCCI and more number of international matches for the association.
