Regarding Energy Related Issue

On analysing Energy and Cooking Procedure and other energy related issues the

following suggestions can be provided

1. Utilization of biomass, particularly as bio-gasification can be used as a

potential source of energy.

2. Solar energy utilization on community basis or individual basis is

suggested as another source of energy. Solar energy can also be used for

cooking purposes. Programmes like Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar

Mission of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Govt. of India can be

linked here.

3. Direct utilization of biomass in the traditional manner is very less efficient.

It is therefore suggested that, improved and energy efficient chullas can be

used for the purpose of cooking.
