A tender for the Sakhi One Stop Centre in Yavatmal, operating under Maharashtra's Women and Child Development Department, calls for the survey, design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of 3 solar-based LED high mast lighting systems, fitted with Remote Monitoring Systems and backed by a 5-year Comprehensive Maintenance Contract.
What a Sakhi One Stop Centre does
Sakhi One Stop Centres (सखी वन स्टॉप सेंटर) provide integrated support — medical aid, police assistance, legal counselling, psychological support and short-term shelter — to women affected by violence, operating under a national scheme run through the Women and Child Development Department in each district. Reliable, well-lit premises are treated as a basic safety requirement for a facility of this kind, given that women may arrive or need to be escorted at any hour.
Why solar high mast, not just standard lighting
Choosing 3 high masts over a larger number of standard poles gives the centre's premises broad, shadow-free coverage from fewer fixtures — a deliberate design choice for a facility where clear visibility across the compound has a direct bearing on the safety of those staying there.
The RMS and CMC combination
Pairing Remote Monitoring Systems with a 5-year Comprehensive Maintenance Contract ensures any fault at a facility like this gets flagged and addressed quickly rather than going unnoticed — a higher service standard than a typical rural or municipal solar lighting tender, reflecting the sensitivity of the site.
