TERI and Integarted Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) are already partners in taking LaBL forward in Koraput, Odisha. ITDA is supporting more than 200 tribal school hostels in the district. Children in these residential schools study in the light of dimly lit kerosene lamps during the evening hours. TERI has supported provision of solar lights in three of these schools. ITDA has shown an interest in taking this initiative forward to more schools. UNICEF has come forward to support the initiative in 20 such schools in the districts.
