About

Traditional watermills (gharats) once powered grain milling across Uttarakhand's hill villages. Project UK, a UPES initiative, aims to revive, modernise and enhance these small watermills to increase rural incomes.

The project is building a network of experts to find sustainable solutions, giving planners a low-cost option for places that the grid reaches poorly.
