Ralegan Siddhi is a village in Parner taluka of Ahmednagar District, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Located 87 km from Pune, the village has an area of 982.31 ha (1991). It is considered a model of environmental conservation. The village has carried out programs like tree planting, terracing to reduce soil erosion and digging canals to retain rainwater. For energy, the village uses solar power, biogas (some generated from the community toilet) and a windmill.[1]
The project is heralded as a sustainable model of a village republic.
The village's biggest accomplishment is in its use of renewable sources for energy. For example, each streetlight in the village has a separate solar panel.[2] The village is headed by a Sarpanch who is the chief of the Gram panchayat (village panchayat).
