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.

Section 31
 Focusing on the operational model.Benefits of solar irrigation pump program- No recurring cost  Quiet operation  Environment friendly  Extremely reliable  Robust application  Optimum irrigation  Emission of carbon reduction  Reduction in diesel cost of farmers  Constant water supply through green technology  It will be less expensive in the long run of solar pumpWe are working for installing 6(six) Solar Irrigation Plants at 6(six) different upazillas in 5(five) districts. The project areas are shown below–  Doripara Solar Irrigation Plant at Sadullapur Upazilla, Gaibandha District  Anayetpur Solar Irrigation Plant at Pirganj Upazilla, Rangpur District  South Maragaon Solar Irrigation Plant at Birol Upazilla, Dinajpur District  Sadamahal Solar Irrigation Plant at Bochaganj Upazilla, Dinajpur District  Boro Balia Solar Irrigation Plant at Sadar Upazilla, Thakurgaon District  Ghagrapara Solar Irrigation Plant at Sadar Upazilla, Panchagarh District Outcome or result achieved from this program-  Carbon-di-oxide emission reduce through closing diesel running pump  Farmers get water at less price than diesel price in irrigation purpose  Employment increases through this program  Increases farmers satisfaction in irrigation matter

Long-term goal of this program-

Section 32
 Closing diesel running pump in irrigation purpose  Closing carbon-di-oxide emission reduction day by day  Increase uses of environment friendly energy  Employment increase through this program  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 33
1. 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 Division District Upazila Rajshahi Natore Natore Sadar Lalpur Boraigram Bagatipara Gurudaspur Naldanga Rajshahi Rajshahi Puthia Rajshahi Pabna Chatmohor(viii) Biogas Program 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 34
innovative 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 Division District Rajshahi Pabna Rajshahi Natore Dhaka Jamalpur Dhaka Manikganj Dhaka Tangail Rangpur Thakurgaon(ix) Housing Fund Project AVA Development Society gives the full support to make a house for those families who have an own land but have not ability to make a house. In this program a single family gets not more than one house. AVA Development Society gives the facilities in total 75 no. of families. Till now AVA Development Society has completed 25 no. of houses and others 50 no. of houses make in under process. Those families pay the home making money to AVA Development Society through weekly installment. The total installment period is three years. The weekly installment per house is 276 taka (In words: two hundred and seventy six taka only). Summary of the main assumptions of the project as follows:

1. To make houses for homeless families

Section 35
2. To bring a homeless family in a house 3. Whose families has an own land, only that families gets the facilities 4. A single family gets not more than one home 5. That family pay the cost through installment House Building Program areas Division District Upazila Rajshahi Natore Lalpur Boraigram(x) VGD Program The Vulnerable Group Development (VGD) program is one of the social safety net programs of the AVA Development Society that exclusively targets ultra poor households.
