While charging our mobile phones is the least of our concerns, there is a small villagelinks in India where people have to walk about 20 kilometers every single day just to charge their mobile phones.

What is more interesting in this news covered IBNLive is the popularity of mobile phones despite the absence of electricity. Talk about mobile revolution at its finest.

For more than 50 years this village named Karaj in the Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh has no electricity and no decent roads, causing many people to get sick during the monsoons. Mobile phones have given the people in this powerless village entertainment and power to connect with their family and close friends. Unfortunately, the cow-dung charger is not yet fully functional to aid in this time of need.
