The Azolla Cement Lantern is an eco-friendly and cost-effective lighting solution that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern sustainability.
At Rural Development Organisation (RUDO), we promote such innovations to improve rural livelihoods while preserving the environment.Azolla, a fast-growing aquatic fern, plays a crucial role in natural insulation and moisture retention, making it ideal for enhancing the durability of cement lanterns. These lanterns are lightweight, strong, and energy-efficient, offering a low-cost lighting alternative for homes, farms, and community spaces in villages.
By encouraging the production and use of Azolla Cement Lanterns, RUDO aims to support local artisans, reduce dependency on expensive lighting solutions, and promote sustainable rural entrepreneurship. This initiative not only provides a renewable source of income for villagers but also contributes to an eco-friendly rural development model, fostering self-sufficiency and innovation.
