demonstrate straw as a local available building material and on the other hand to show the use of renewable energy technologies such as a photovoltaic cell, air and solar collectors. The medical centre was built in the Choryakorroni Dara village. It is situated not far from the capital, but in spite of that fact, the local rural community is quite poor.
