Saurya Urja Company of Rajasthan Limited (SURAJ), a public-private partnership initiative between IL&FS and Government of Rajasthan was allocated 6000 acres of land in Noore ki Bhurj Panchayat, Jodhpur to develop a solar park.

A quantitative survey tool with closed-ended questions was used. These data points served as a baseline, against which the impact of the CSR interventions could be measured at the end of the project term.
