The transition from a fossil fuel driven energy system to the renewable energy based systems of the future requires a concerted effort for capacity building. A review of select international experiences revealed innovations in School kits, international co-operation, web based modules and inter disciplinary post-graduates degree programmes. This paper examines the manpower requirements for renewable energy in India. Recommendations include integration of renewable in the engineering curriculum, development of web based modules, renewable technology incubators and an emphasis on R & D for renewables.
