Sunamgonj(v) Solar Irrigation Pump Project
Optimum use of solar water pumping can solve Bangladesh’s irrigation problem. It can make
farmers the beneficiaries in irrigation purpose hence, building capacity as well as ensuring
adequate supply. It can also reduce electricity demand, improving countrywide load shedding
situation in peak season. Increased use of solar irrigation system will bring to the industry
technological improvements that will result in efficiency gains. The long-term view is that
more applications, not limited to green house irrigation only, it will incorporate the use of
solar technology, which has become more plant-specific drip irrigation cost effective and
which inherently uses more of our natural resources as we move towards energy
independence.
The core objective of this project is to develop a pilot project model for proving technical and
financial viability of solar irrigation systems for rice and other crop irrigation in Bangladesh.In short, project aim & objectives are-
Developing pilot model of SIS in 11 priority areas to irrigate 50 to 60 bighas of land
throughout the year in each project.
Facilitating farmers of all projects to produce at least three crops in a year.
Motivating and provide technical support to the farmers to produce high yielding &
high value crops.
Commercialization of the project.
Ensuring sustainability of the scheme through using efficient water supply and
distribution with support of buried pipes, water rationing, magic tubes and others.
Highlighting technical and financial viability of a well designed solar irrigation
system.
Requesting for IDCOL financing.

More beneficiaries number increase in this program(vi) Solar Powered Mini Grid Project
Solar PV based mini-grid projects are installed in remote areas of the country where possibility
of grid expansion is remote in near future. These projects provide grid quality electricity to
households and small commercial users and thereby encourage commercial activities in the
project areas.
So far, AVA Development Society is installing one 148.5 kWp solar powered mini grid project
in Char Asariadaha island under Godagari Upazila of Rajshahi District. This mini grid project
will be supplying electricity to adjacent 1066 households, 116 shops, 14 irrigation pumps, 5
primary schools, 1 secondary school, 1 health center, 1 union council office and 1 post office.
(vii) Improve Cooking Stove Program
A shortage of fuel for cooking is one of the many problems faced by people in the developing
world. Gathering fuel is generally women’s work but is fraught with dangers; they gamble
with the risk of rape and life threatening attacks during their search for much needed
firewood, in order to feed their families. In certain areas, local sources of firewood are
completely depleted, leading women to travel further and further afield or to dig up tree roots,
eliminating any chance of the trees growing again. Even if women survive this, they are still
exposing themselves and their children to potentially deadly smoke fumes. Practical Action
are tackling this issue through the use of more fuel-efficient woodstoves, which are both
affordable and easy to use; cutting the amount of risky trips for firewood and allowing more
trees the opportunity to grow. Subsequently, burning smaller amounts wood fuel means less
smoke will engulf their homes and their lungs.
Summary of the main assumptions of the project as follows:
Section 331. Women protected from in-door air pollution
2. Save from smoke related diseases
3. 50% less fuel cost
4. no blackening from stove
5. no heat from stove
6. Very cost effective for large establishment such as hostels, restaurants etcImprove Cooking Stove Program areas

Bangladesh has the potential for developing 4 million biogas plants. In Bangladesh only 3%
of the people enjoy the facility of natural gas coming to their homes through pipe lines. The
lucky few mostly live in the cities. Most of the Bangladesh's rural people depend on biomass,
crop residues, plant debris, animal dung and wood for fuel creating deforestation, flood, soil
erosion etc. Women and children, on whom the burden of collecting fuel falls, suffer the
most. They are the worst victims of indoor air pollution such as smokes in the kitchens. AVA
Development Society believes that biogas technology is one of the best means to provide
natural gas to the largest number of rural people. It can provide them with pollution free,
efficient energy for cooking and at the same time protect them from diseases by giving them
a cleaner environment. Biogas technology can be used to implement a sustainable waste
management program suitable for rural areas, as wastes of all sorts are transformed into
biogas or slurry. AVA Development Society is successful in promoting and constructing
domestic sizes biogas plants to rural villagers. Impact on biogas plant owners are positive and
demand is increasing day by day. All its clients are enjoying hassle free and pollution free
energy for cooking and business activities. AVA Development Society is developed
Section 34innovative ideas for expanding biogas program.
Summary of the main assumptions of the project as follows:
A financial mechanism based on credit, which makes biogas plants affordable to the
villagers
Plants designed and constructed after one to one consultation with clients
Free after sales service including monthly visits by AVA Development Society
engineers for three years
Option for signing annual maintenance agreement for a small fee after free sales
service period
Training of AVA Development Society staff, local masons and users
Community based approach to share the cost and benefit of biogas plantsBiogas Program areas
