1. introduction.
1.1 Bharat, as one of the world’s largest economies, is progressing towards major energy transformation. The Government of India has introduced several significant initiatives to promote solar energy as part of its broader renewable energy and sustainability efforts. The National Solar Mission (NSM), launched in 2010, aims to achieve large-scale solar deployment with a target of 100 GW by 2022. The (PM KUSUM) Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyaan scheme was introduced in 2019 to support farmers in installing solar pumps and power plants, while the Rooftop Solar Programme sets a goal of 40 GW in rooftop solar capacity. Solar Park Development focuses on large-scale projects with an additional 40 GW capacity. India, as a co-founder of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), leads global efforts in solar energy promotion. The Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) emphasizes solar energy for tribal communities, while the PLI Scheme boosts domestic solar manufacturing. Collectively, these initiatives contribute to India's renewable energy targets of 175 GW by 2022 and 450 GW by 2030.
1.2 The nation’s rapidly growing population and increasing industrialisation have led to a surge in energy needs over the past half-century. Traditional fossil fuels, which are both limited and harmful to the environment, are no longer a viable option. Given these challenges, solar energy emerges as a beacon of hope. India’s geographical advantage of abundant sunlight makes solar energy not just a promising option, but a potential game-changer. Empirical research on solar energy and sustainability can identify optimal strategies for transitioning to solar power and reducing the carbon footprint, which will facilitate combating climate change. While solar technology is making massive advances, efficiency, storage, and cost pose a significant challenge. To address these challenges, empirical research can lead to advances by testing new materials, increasing photovoltaic cell efficiency, and improving storage costs. Innovation in these areas is absolutely essential for making solar energy more efficient and attractive for widespread use.
1.3 The solar energy sector holds significant potential for job creation in areas such as manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and research. Empirical studies can map the job creation landscape, identify skill gaps, and suggest educational and training programs to prepare the workforce for the emerging green economy.
1.4 Furthermore, the economic impacts of solar energy investments can attract further investments, both domestic and international, thereby bolstering India’s economy. Empirical research can also address issues emerging from India's heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels. To do so, it can identify practical ways to harness domestic solar energy, enhancing energy security and independence. Furthermore, the research can offer decentralised solar solutions to alleviate energy needs in rural and remote areas. Such an approach will reduce regional economic inequalities. A combination of traditional knowledge and modern technologies supported by robust empirical data can support sustainable and culturally appropriate energy solutions, paving the way for India's brighter and more sustainable future.
1.5 The researchers' role in conducting empirical research is pivotal for effective policymaking for sustainable energy development. By providing robust empirical evidence, researchers play a crucial role in offering insights into approaches to integrate solar power into the national grid, design effective subsidy frameworks, and create incentives for solar energy producers and consumers. Understanding the socio-economic impacts of solar energy adoption allows for policies that maximise benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks. This data-driven approach ensures that policies are technically sound, socially equitable, and economically beneficial.
1.6 In this context, the ICSSR has identified Solar Energy and Sustainability as a key area for empirical research, with the goal of generating outcomes and insights on various aspects of solar energy transformation in both urban and rural sectors.
i. Proposal Requirements:
1.7 Proposals must ensure a significant sample size for research to objectively assess the various dimensions of Solar energy and sustainability issues. Detailed geographical coverage (villages, blocks, and districts) should be shown using charts and GIS-based maps to illustrate project locations.
1.8 Proposals should encompass fact-based and action-oriented research, including a thorough background of the specific research area and a relevant literature review leading to well-defined hypotheses, objectives, and research questions. The proposal must outline a systematic research methodology, specifying sampling methods, data sources, interview schedules/questionnaires, and tools and software for analysis. The study should address quantitative and qualitative approaches, focusing on actionable and applied analysis, and include specific scope and limitations with mitigation strategies.
ii. Research Team Composition:
1.9 The research team should include three to six scholars to develop a comprehensive study, emphasising collaboration among multiple institutions. Researchers from various disciplines, institutions, and regions are encouraged to collaborate on this research.
1.10 The Project Director will be responsible for completing the study successfully and utilising the funds. The Project Director and Co-Project Directors should be from the social and human sciences.
iii. Duration, Budget and Disbursal of Grant
1.11 The project duration will be 10 to 12 months, with a budget of up to Rs. 15 Lakhs. The grant will be disbursed in instalments as deemed fit by the ICSSR. The affiliating institution should open/maintain a dedicated bank account for the ICSSR grant (Scheme Code-0877) that is duly registered at the EAT Module of the PFMS portal.
iv. Methodological Approaches:
1.12 A multi-method approach will be employed to provide a comprehensive analysis. Quantitative studies will deploy statistical methods to analyse existing large-scale datasets (or the data gathered by the researchers) on solar energy production, consumption, and impacts that will offer insights into overall trends. To complement the quantitative exercise, qualitative research will be conducted through in-depth interviews, focus-group discussions, and case studies to capture the nuanced experiences and perspectives of the stakeholders, ranging from policymakers to local users. Additionally, a comparative regional analysis will assess the performance and challenges of solar energy implementation across various states, identifying region-specific solutions and best practices tailored to diverse environmental and socio-economic contexts.
