Donates the energy savings from LED Light installation to light a remote village to give New Life After Dusk

BMC Software has launched an unique initiative to gain by saving by replacing lighting fixtures in its Pune office facilities with higher efficiency LED Lights from Hanul Technologies resulting in over 65% savings in power. These savings will be donated to a remote village outside of Sakur India to light the streets and homes and bring New Life After Dusk to the villagers.

BMC Software has always been a socially-responsible company that is committed to providing a valuable contribution to society at large through its employees and their families volunteer efforts, said Tarun Sharma, site leader and vice president of research and development for BMC Software. A significant part of the savings made from reduced power bills will be applied to the companys Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects, wherein BMC Software will purchase and subsequently donate wind and solar based lighting systems to a few small villages that lack power supply from the state electricity board.

BMC Software joined forces with Hanul Technologies to identify 23 households near the Sakur village in Sangamner Taluka of Ahmednagar district to launch the first project. BMC Software donated solar-powered LED lighting systems to each household and installed street lights in the entire village to give the villagers a New Life After Dusk.

The systems were installed and formally handed over to Sandip Aher, Tehsildar of Sangamner Taluka by the BMC Software CSR team in late September. BMC is planning to complete the replacement of the lamps in its facilities within the next six months, so the company can realise immediate savings that will in turn power villages such as Sakur.
