The project incorporates state-of-the-art technologies, such as advanced fire suppression systems and sophisticated condition monitoring systems for wind turbine generators (WTGs).

Apraava’s community interventions in the Sidhpur region cover the integrated development of 12 villages with a specific focus on livelihood, water and sanitation, and women empowerment. Key activities include strengthening village institutions, farm-based livelihood management, building water security in the area and natural resources management, youth skilling initiatives, and working with women’s self-help groups.
