Timeline
Oxford Public School relies entirely on Maharashtra State Electricity Board power, which is subject to frequent outages — disrupting learning, especially during examination periods. With India's national call for institutional energy conservation, a solar solution is both a practical and patriotic priority.
This project installs a 10–13 kW rooftop solar power system with battery backup, providing clean, uninterrupted electricity to the entire school.
Load-shedding during examination periods directly disrupts learning, and the school's monthly electricity costs divert funds that could otherwise go to academics. A reliable, independent power source removes this recurring constraint permanently.
Installation of a 10–13 kW rooftop solar system with hybrid inverter and battery backup, powering all four floors:
| Line Item | Unit Cost / Basis | Qty | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solar panels | 10–13 kW system | 1 | ₹ 4,50,000 |
| Hybrid inverter | Lump sum | 1 | ₹ 1,00,000 |
| Lithium battery bank | Lump sum | 1 | ₹ 7,00,000 |
| Mounting, wiring & commissioning | Lump sum | 1 | ₹ 2,50,000 |
| TOTAL | ₹ 15,00,000 | ||

Oxford Public School, Waigaon is the Society's flagship K–12 institution: 750 students, Nursery to Class XII, drawn from 30+ farming villages in Wardha district where 95% of families earn ₹10,000–12,000/month. The school has produced NTS scholars, Navodaya Vidyalaya selections, World-PEC champions, national cricket runners-up, and an international Lathi-Kathi representative — proof of what these children can achieve when given the right environment.
