Prayas and IIT Delhi: Grantee Spotlight
The Giving Green Fund plans to award a grant to Prayas (Energy Group) and Professors Kaveri Iychettira and Rajarshi Dasgupta at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) to investigate development-compatible pathways for achieving net-zero emissions in India by 2070. In collaboration with Princeton University, the consortium aims to inform the Indian central and state governments, private sector organizations, and communities about what it takes to reach economy-wide net-zero emissions and its implications on development and sustainability outcomes. The project is anchored at IIT Delhi in Delhi, India.
This falls within our philanthropic strategy of supporting an energy transition in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Please see Giving Green’s deep dive report for more information, including risks and potential co-benefits, recommended sub-strategies, theory of change, funding need, and key uncertainties.
