SELCO Foundation seeks to inspire and implement socially, financially and environmentally inclusive solutions by improving access to sustainable energy. SELCO Foundations key objectives are systematically identify diverse needs of the poor, understand and define the role of sustainable development, poverty alleviation and decentralized energy, create and deploy innovative solutions that positively impact well-being, health, education and livelihoods towards the alleviation of poverty and foster the development of enabling conditions or an ecosystem through holistic thought processes in technology, finance, entrepreneurship and policy.

As one of the priority development verticals, we are working to develop sustainable energy driven solutions for Animal Husbandry. Under the Animal Husbandry vertical we have been working on specific value chains such as Dairy, Poultry, Fisheries and Piggery with cooling as a value chain cutting across all output storage. SELCO seeks to develop sustainable energy solutions across Animal husbandry value chains in order to improve, diversifying farm incomes and reducing drudgery across the processes and activities. Specifically, we are looking at technologies that bring about value among small marginal farmers and entrepreneurs, FPOs, FPC's, SHG and other stakeholders.
