Peltric Set Transported (finally!)

The delay in completing the Peltric Set was worrying me a lot. I was getting extremely concerned that we might not be able to complete the project on time as planned and mainly that I might not be able to see the electricity generated.



On 5th Jan, the Peltric set was FINALLY transported to the village. The Treasurer of the Committee overseeing this project came from the village to safely transport the Set.

My father and I had been making several phone calls to the person in-charge at Power Tech Nepal to put some pressure to complete the Set. On the 5th when we called, we realized that the only thing missing was the Control Box so we took our own car and transported it from Preesu Electronics to Power Tech Nepal so that all the equipment could be transported together at one time. Making another additional trip to transport the Control Box or anything else would have created further delays in completing the project on time.After I and Dr. Nepali inspected the receipt, all the equipment that needed to be transported and Dr. Nepali especially inspected the technical aspects of each and every piece of equipment, everything was finally all set to go. With the help of some staffs at Power Tech Nepal, everything was loaded on a Taxi. Interestingly, the driver who drove the Taxi was from the village where the electricity was going to be generated. He had volunteered to help transport all the equipment back to the village since his house will be one of the 32 houses that will get electricity.
Many thanks to everyone at Power Tech Nepal, Mr. Chiranjibi Raimajhi, the Treasurer of the Committee, Mr. Ajay who drove the taxi, my father, Dr. Nepali for all their participation and help to successfully transport the Peltric Set- the main component of the entire project to the project site.
