The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)- Bombay and the central government have launched a joint project through which an entire village in Madhya Pradesh is powered by solar panels and induction cook-tops to cook food instead of wooden stoves and LPG cylinders, Times Now News reports.
All of the 75 houses in the Bancha village in MP’s Betul are relying on solar-powered stoves to meet their cooking needs, ANI reports quoting social activist Mohan Nagar.
The induction cook-tops provided by the central government and powered by solar panels, both are made by the students of IIT Bombay. The project was completed in 2018 by the central government. The activist adds that the government has set an example and can replicate the project to make villages smoke and pollution free.
The centre-run project changed the lives of residents of the village in many ways. “We don't have to go to forests and spend time collecting woods for fire anymore. Utensils and walls don't get blackened now. Food also gets cooked on time. It saves a lot of effort and time,” ANI quotes a resident of the village.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
