Student studying with the help of a SoUL lamp on 13 April, 2015 in Pondikote village, Odisha.
Two tribal girls started a tuition centre after their village students purchased solar lamps under the SoUL project by IIT Bombay. Though their village is electrified, it faces frequent and unplanned power-cuts which adversely effects their education. While the tuition centre provides education to the tribal students in tribal language rather than Odiya, thus making understanding concepts easier, it also integrates tribal performance arts like dancing and singing thus imparting cultural knowledge to the students.
