Enabling Households to Switch from Traditional Cooking Stoves and Fuels to Clean Alternatives
The project attempts to spread awareness around improved cookstove (ICS), empower women groups and sensitise men about the drudgery of traditional cooking, and enable the environment for easy adoption of ICS in two locations of Surat district, Gujarat.
With support from SHELL India, this three-year programme started in 2019 to facilitate the transition of tribal households dependent on traditional cooking practices to clean cooking solutions. The specific goal of the project is to promote the transition of sustainable adoption of 6,000 traditional cookstove dependent households to clean energy options, through a combination of capacity building, collectivisation, market development, and multi-stakeholder engagement actions.
