Andhra Pradesh Clean-Cooking Initiative Heads to Germany Spotlight
Andhra Pradesh has introduced cleaner cooking in 55,746 Anganwadi centres.
Anganwadis provide important services for children and families.
The centres now use induction stoves and modern utensils instead of older cooking methods.
This helps make the kitchens smoke-free and safer.
It also lowers cooking costs by about 30 percent.
The programme may prevent 28,327 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
Energy Efficiency Services Limited will present the project in Ravensburg, Germany.
People from different countries will discuss clean energy and ways to make communities more prepared for climate 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 have replaced conventional cooking methods at the centres.
The programme is expected to cut cooking costs by around 30%, eliminate kitchen smoke and improve indoor air quality.
EESL estimates the initiative avoids 28,327 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
