Environment

Deepika Unnayan Sangstha is an excellent example of integrated development linking affiliates of health, education, and livelihood with water sanitation. There is much commitment to environmental sustainability. Recognizing that clean energy is holding the key to the advancement of each of these issues, DUS has adopted environmentally-friendly solutions throughout its operations. At the forefront is the adoption of solar batteries to power the clinic, ensuring reliable healthcare services in remote areas. Aside from health, renewable energy supplied through DUS answers many other community needs, increasing sustainability while lowering carbon footprint.

This initiative of DUS thus becomes one of the lead-making efforts toward changing village life in Bangladesh’s first ever eco-friendly ‘Smart Village’, where sustainable energy is presented as the cornerstone for development solutions. Installation of solar streetlights that increase community safety and visibility at night has been another major feature of this lead-breaking project. DUS has equipped homes with solar energy systems, thereby introducing clean and reliable sources of power in households hitherto managed by traditional fuels.

Projects such as the village’s pioneering biogas plant prove that DUS looks toward sustainable development with eco-friendly, alternate solutions to traditional sources of energy. In the same light, projects like the staff solar-powered bike pilot demonstrate a commitment to mainstreaming green technologies into everyday practice.

Environmental stewardship in DUS does not stop at merely energy solutions, with installations of waste bins within the entire village, starting a ‘no littering’ campaign. These efforts help clean up communities, inculcating responsibility for the environment within residents’ culture.

The holistic approach of Deepika Unnayan Sangstha ensures development that is not only sustainable but respectful of the natural environment while striving to raise living standards. DUS relentlessly works on eco-friendly practices and innovations, setting an example of integrated, environmentally conscious development in rural Bangladesh for resilience and prosperity in generations to come.
