Passage 2: Questions 34-37   In 1972, a social worker named Sanjit “Bunker” Roy funded Barefoot College in Tilonia,Rajasthan. Today the college trains women from villages for six months to build and maintain solarpanels and other instruments. Barefoot College also offers education to the younger generation bothduring the day and at its solar bridge schools that meet by lamplight at night.    The philosophy of Barefoot College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi, starting withequality beyond caste, gender or religion. As a matter of fact, women are prioritized as anunderserved population that is essential to bring villages together. Another central principle of thecollege is self-reliance, teaching students to support and think for themselves.    After the college’s female students have completed their half-year training, they return to theirvillages, where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from the college. Once they have all thepieces they need, they construct the panels and begin collecting solar energy. For each village, thecollege also provides solar lamps. Villagers can, in addition, order parts for other solar-powereddevices, such as water heaters and cooking stoves by the solar panels.    The effect on the villages is huge. Before the solar panels and lamps arrived, villagers had onlycandles to light their homes. This prevented adults from doing serious work at night, and it madestudying difficult for children as well. As for physicians, they had difficulty treating patients andperforming operations at night because they had to rely on flashlights.    Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides but alsodevices like televisions, radios and computers. For the first time, the villagers can even connect to theworld through the Internet.
