The project aims to enhance incomes, quality of life of the tribal and marginalized communities by promoting a range of renewable energy options e.g bio-gas units, smokeless chulahs, solar driers etc., local biodiversity through community participation, enhancing local skills, management practices and build capacities sustainably.
Benefits and impacts:
Smoke and soot are minimized in homes, resulting in health improvement of local women. Furtherwise women and children are freed from dudgery of fetching fuel food from forest and less time required for cooking and cleaning allows mothers to spend more time with their familly and enterprise management.
Depleting fossils fuels like kerosine and natural gas are preserved and the use of renewable energies promoted. Substituting also fire food helps minimising deforestation thus improving the ecological balance of the areas.
Bio-gas plants are affluent as manure, rich in nitrogen and humus which will help improve the soil structure and crop yield.
In sum, the project contributes essentially to better living conditions for the people and a preserving their environment.
