Summary. This paper describes a distance learning program designed to improve educational access for rural girls in Jharkhand, India. The authors identify inadequate electricity and limited schooling opportunities as major barriers and propose a sustainable electrification system paired with digital learning technology to enable continuous primary and secondary education. Village interviews showed strong community support for the initiative, which addresses infrastructure, connectivity, and personnel needs alongside reliable power supply.
