• Coping with natural disasters such as floods through solar water desalination, emergency lighting, signaling etc; Creating 100,000 Green Jobs.
• Currently, designing and in a process of implementing a research project of around 37.8 KWp Agrivoltaics at Manikganj with the collaboration of BIGD, Brac University and H&M Foundation in the First Phase and planning to install up to 1 MWp there. 
• Collaborating with Institution for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), Japan to Implement 1 MWp or 2 MWp Agrivoltaics Project at Manikganj under JCM Project.

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries facing climate threat. Mr. Barua is a passionate believer in solar power and other renewable energy sources. He believes that these technologies can protect Bangladesh and at the same time contribute towards the nation’s socio-economic development. He wants to develop Bangladesh as a success story, showing what can be done with renewables in a developing country, and wants to take this success to other countries, to promote renewables as a tool against climate threat and a positive force for social and economic development.
