PakistanTehreek-e-Insaf, a governing party in Pakistan's northwestern province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa plans to build as many as 356 micro-hydroelectric power projects in the province's mountain villages.
Former state minister for the environment, Malik Amin Aslam Khan, is the brain behind the ambitious plan, which is part of the PTI's Green Growth Initiative (GGI), launched earlier this year. The GGI aims to boost the province's socio-economic development by efficiently using natural resources without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
