As part of the partnership, KP Group will support 30 scholarships each year for citizens of Botswana to pursue education and skill development in renewable energy, engineering, sustainability, and allied disciplines. The initiative is aimed at building local capacity, encouraging knowledge transfer, and enabling youth participation in the clean energy transition.

The MoU signing was accompanied by Harsh Rameshbhai Sanghavi, Gujarat deputy chief minister and home minister, virtually inaugurating KP Green Engineering’s fabrication and galvanising facility at Matar, Bharuch, strengthening the Group’s manufacturing capabilities for large-scale renewable energy projects.

Commenting on the MoU, Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, Minister of Minerals and Energy, said: "The partnership would accelerate clean energy deployment while delivering long-term economic and environmental benefits."
