Andhra Pradesh Clean-Cooking Initiative to Gain Global Spotlight
Andhra Pradesh has introduced cleaner cooking methods in its Anganwadi centres.
These centres help provide services and nutrition to children.
Instead of traditional cooking methods, they now use energy-efficient induction stoves and modern utensils.
This makes kitchens less smoky and safer for workers.
It also lowers cooking costs by about 30 percent.
The programme may prevent about 28,327 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year.
Energy Efficiency Services Limited will explain the project at an international programme in Germany.
Experts there will discuss clean energy, energy efficiency, and ways to protect communities from climate-related problems.
The initiative covers 55,746 Anganwadi centres across Andhra Pradesh.
Energy Efficiency Services Limited will present the programme in Ravensburg, Germany, from September 28 to October 2.
Induction stoves and modern utensils replaced conventional cooking methods at the centres.
The programme cuts cooking costs by about 30%, reduces smoke, and improves indoor air quality.
EESL estimates the initiative avoids 28,327 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
