Summary:
"We are very optimistic about the bright students of IIT Guwahati who took all the pain to light up the dark streets of Amtola. The Techniche team has voluntarily installed five solar lights that cost about Rs 25 thousand each in the destitute areas of Amtola village near Kukurmara with the support of village residents and the sponsors of Techniche. AMTOLA (KAMRUP): A young brigade of students from IIT Guwahati's Team Techniche has illuminated the streets of one of the oldest villages of Assam - Amtola in Kamrup district - for the first time this festive season. However, the initiative to install solar lights undertaken by Team Techniche, the annual techno-management fest of IIT Guwahati, has ushered in rays of hope for the villagers. The students have turned Rongali Bihu bright for this underdeveloped village mostly inhabited by the fishermen community.Amtola and its neighbouring villages have faced the fury of floods for long and is one of the villages that has been deprived of basic amenities for decades..
