Vivekananda Vidyavardhaka Sangha Puttur formally known as Puttur Education Society. Founded in 1915, to provide quality & value based education to children of rural areas and lower economic groups. The institution has spread its wings through 69 educational institutions with more than 18500 students pursuing their career.
The standout feature of the institution is the inculcation of culture, patriotism and values in the personality of students and make them better citizens. In addition to the successful management of the educational institutions, there are many projects that are useful to the society.
As a result, over the last few years, the company has been actively looking at rooftop solar as a possible means to reduce its carbon footprint. This is where SafEarth came in and helped make their dream become a reality. The Rooftop OPEX Solar installation of 500 kW has helped Vivekananda College reduce 1120 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.

Project Workflow
SafEarth is proud to be a part of this journey. This is how we helped their transformation:
Project Design:
Upon signing Vivekananda College, SafEarth first visited the site and made a detailed engineering report for the project. The designed system optimized the generation and the return on investment of the plant. Best industry practices have been used in this system.
Vendor Selection:
The SafEarth team then selected 8 pre screened vendors from the companies registered on our portal. All these companies are industry leaders. These companies were given a week to review the Detailed Engineering to help them ascertain their costs up to 99% accuracy. Vivekananda College selected a vendor and held final discussions with this vendor. We worked with them to iron out various terms and conditions of the contract to arrive at a Win-Win scenario. This ensured protections for the client as well as the vendor.
Installation:
The Vendor installed the plant on the roof of the industry following the best in industry practices. The plant has been set up using premium components and has been designed for top-grade performance.
Quality Assurance by SafEarth:
Before Commissioning and Handing over the plant, the SafEarth quality team visited the site and identified any punch points related to the project. The plant was handed over only after resolving these punch points.
Operations and Maintenance:
The O&M for the plant is now being done by the Vendor. The contract sets out clear benchmarks against which the output of the plant will be evaluated.
Final Outcome of Project
SafEarth has helped Vivekananda College reduce its carbon footprint by 1120 tonnes per year of CO2 equivalent and save over 65% of their electricity bills in the process. The Company was able to get the best quality solar plant without having to worry about any aspect of the project and as a result, they have awarded additional projects to SafEarth.
