Evolution of solar rickshaw technology vis-à-vis economic feasibility

Era of human pull and pedal drive rickshaw stands for long time and seek technology intervention to drive motor powered, fueled by solar energy rickshaw The evolution of man to machine age represents an expansion of human capacities. Enhanced human control over environment, through the ability to elicit from instruments of production, has improved range and exactitude of response. It is in the nature of machinery Era and a corollary of technical development control over machine need no longer be vested in its immediate operator, rickshaw puller. This possibility of technology development is seized upon by the capitalist mode of production and utilized by them to the high extent. The proposed solar power rickshaw development model have multiple organizational involvement, with Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) as research and technology development, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) for promotion research and development (R&D) in private sector, Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) subsidy to sensitize rickshaw owner for technology adoption and for covering trial risk of new renewable energy technology, Ministry of Environment & Forest (MoEF) for benefit sharing under PoA-CDM and Department of Post (DOP) for encouragement for rural mobile post office. The business plan on solar power rickshaw for mobile post office for postman has been workout in this study keeping in view that postman is best media for dissemination of information during his daily travel on an average 20 km.
