wOw! was my reaction.
I recently read the article on NYT - 'A Light In India' by David Bornstein. The subject excited me as always and made me read it.

The article was about the brilliant initiative by a small but fast-growing off-grid electricity company based in Bihar called Husk Power Systems. It has created a system to turn rice husks into electricity that is reliable, eco-friendly and affordable for families that can spend only $2 a month for power. The company has 65 power units that serve a total of 30,000 households and is currently installing new systems at the rate of two to three per week.
Husk Power was founded by four friends: Gyanesh Pandey, Manoj Sinha, Ratnesh Yadav and Charles W. Ransler. They are the real entrepreneurs who made their excellent idea work at the right time.
What they did perhaps a new way of thinking about innovation which is the need of the hour in the countries like India and Africa.
