78K+ lives transformed in Andhra Pradesh through Signifys Har Gaon Roshan CSR initiative
Nikhil Gupta, Head of Marketing, Strategy, Government Affairs & CSR – Signify, Greater India, said, “Access to reliable lighting is a cornerstone of development-it empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and drives progress. With Har Gaon Roshan, our aim goes beyond infrastructure; we are enabling safer environments, better learning outcomes, and economic opportunities. Each installation reflects our enduring commitment to sustainability, social impact, and our belief in the transformative power of light to create brighter lives and a better world.”
The Har Gaon Roshan CSR initiative taps villages in remote and underserved regions where electricity infrastructure is available, but adequate outdoor lighting is still lacking. By leveraging energy-efficient LED lighting solutions, the program provides sustainable illumination that requires minimal maintenance while delivering maximum impact. This milestone in Andhra Pradesh represents a significant advancement in Signifys ongoing commitment to illuminate rural India.
The Har Gaon Roshan CSR initiative has already brought light to a host of villages across India. This collaborative effort has been carried out with active support from the district administration and village representatives, bringing together various stakeholders to realise a shared goal of rural empowerment through lighting.
