Golchha Group has signed an agreement with Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) for the production of 2 MW solar energy through PPA (Power Purchase Agreement).

This proposal was signed by 2 members: The Managing Director of Nepal Electricity Authority Hitendra Dev Shakya and Chairman of Golchha Group Shekhar Golchha.

Shekhar Golchha stated that they are planning to complete this project within 3 months.

He further added “The experience that we will gain from this project will further help us develop more projects in the coming future”

Golchha Group is helping a team of students named “Shireto” from Thapathali Engineering Campus who are building an Electrical Vehicle (EV) from scratch.
 

 

They are building the EV not for the purpose of transportation but to submit to an international competition in September. 

Till now the team has only constructed the chassis. According to Shireto team, due to the internal college exams, construction of the outer frame of the EV has been postponed.  

Some people are baffled by the name Shireto for the team. According to the team the name comes from the cold wind (means shireto in Nepali) that appears due to change in weather at the beginning of their work.

That means their work is dedicated metaphorically upgrading the speed of the vehicle with the change of weather that ran only a few kilometers per unit of electricity.
 

Cell Energy organizes marathons in American, European and Asian countries, where vehicles that run on electricity, petroleum and hydrogen fuel compete against each other.

The vehicle that provides more mileage using the least amount of energy wins the top position in the competition.

Shireto team consists of 10 students from 3^rd year of Bachelors in Electrical, Automobiles and Electricals majors. They are being guided by faculty advisor Mr. Subodh Kumar Ghimire.

Following advice and suggestions Mechanicals student Saugat Pandey, Dhan Prasad Pradhan and Ojashwi Sharma, Mechanicals student Anil Khadka, Aman Shrestha, Yugen Maharjan, Bhuvaneshwar Dahal and Vivek Poudel along with Electonics and Communication student Swarnim Shrestha have been working their best on the production of the EV.

Golchha Group has been contributing necessary aids for this project under their C.S.R. Golchha Group has always appreciated and supported in the pursuit of newer advancements in human society.
