Study Tour

Following the International Solar Food Conference 2009 in Indore some of the participants will be interested to see more of "Solar India". We are very happy to offer a short study tour in cooperation with Brahma Kumaris in Abu Road.

The destination of our study tour is the headquarters of the Brahma Kumaris, a renowned spiritual organization in India. They have pioneered solar steam kitchens and are using a number of them to cook for thousands of people. The Brahma Kumaris also uses photovoltaics and solar hot water heaters to run three different centres and a hospital. For more information on the site and the institution please have a look at http://www.solar.bkwsu.de or download the brochure of the Brahma Kumaris Solar Department: http://www.solar.bkwsu.de/Solar-Brochure.1360.0.html.
