Nagaland Students Setup Mini Hydropower Plant, Power Highway Street Lights #IndiaNEWS #inspiring
Through the heart of Khuzama village in Kohima district, Nagaland, runs the Asian Highway 2, which has street lamps that stand 7-foot tall. Its posts are painted with the motifs of the Angami tribe in colours of red, green, black, white, yellow and orange, among others. This was done to represent the “rich Angami tribe culture??? that the village belongs to.
“There are 16 clans of Nagaland, and each has a unique language. So, we don’t understand one another,??? laughs Keseto Thakro, a native of the village. But the lamps are a significant milestone for the Khuzama village for more reasons than one.
As the Coronavirus pandemic caused the world to go into lockdown, Keseto, who works as a technician in the mechanical department of NIT Chumukedima, returned to the village. Being a member of the Khuzama Students’ Care Union (KSCU), he began voluntarily teaching e-learning classes, as the schools were closed.
While one class was underway, Keseto chanced upon a unique idea. “The thought of installing a hydroger, a mini-hydro generator, struck me. I shared the idea with the Union, and everyone agreed. That’s why we came up with Project Brighter Khuzama,??? he tells The Better India, adding how the students’ initiative assembled the plant and hydro-powered the village in two months.

Wat-er Plan with Hydropower
“The sole purpose of the project is not only to produce electricity and benefit from it but to educate the students and the community about green energy,??? says the 31-year-old. Feeding two birds with one seed, Keseto adds, “To keep the machine running we now protect the forest, where our water source lies. And the students also learned the basic working principles of a hydroelectric power plant. ???

Having worked as a technician for six years with hydroelectric power plants, Keseto arranged for a run-down hydroger through his sources. In June, the KSCU acquired the machine, repaired it and assembled it in roughly a day.
“In the beginning, we didn’t have any funds, so we thought of using the hydroger to power just one street lamp near an accident-prone area,??? Keseto says.
