India's transition towards clean and renewable energy requires innovative entrepreneurs backed by timely financial support. Recognising the importance of promoting sustainable enterprises while creating employment opportunities, the Venture Capital Fund for Scheduled Castes (VCF-SC) under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has been supporting Scheduled Caste entrepreneurs in establishing commercially viable businesses. One such success story is Dartyens Power Pvt. Ltd., owned by Dasari Kumari, located in Nalgonda, Telangana, which has successfully established and operates a 1 MW Solar Power Plant, contributing to clean energy generation and regional economic development.

Recognising the project's potential, the Venture Capital Fund for Scheduled Castes extended financial assistance of ₹4.35 crore in 2016 through venture capital assistance comprising equity and optionally convertible debentures. The financial support enabled the company to establish the solar power project and strengthen its long-term operational and financial sustainability.
