    Hello Ashden Awards,
    My name is Brandon Cline, I´m from the United States, I´m a member of EVOKE, and I´ve chosen Selco as a social innovation role model. I really admire their work bringing solar energy to India’s villages, tackling the worlds biggest problems with creative solutions and entrepreneurial ventures. Thank you for awarding Harish Hande for his ingenuity, determination, and inspiration!
