In order to save firewood, beneficieries are given solar cookers using sunlight for cooking A register is maintained at the ranges level for distribution of solar cookers and the same are distributed on first come first served basis taking into account the target fixed. Preference is given to small and marginal farmers and families below poverty line. One beneficiery is given only one solar cooker and only once.

| Bio Gas |
|
Demand of fire wood in Gujarat is high. People are constrained to use animals dung for fuel to the kitchen. This dung could otherwise have gone as organic manure to increase the productively of agricultural lands. In area where animal husbandry is in practice, biogas plants can conveniently be used by cattle owners. The cattle excreta are allowed to be kept in a tank made of bricks and cement and allowed to rot. In the process the gas generated is transported through pipes and is used for lighting and cooking purpose. The residual rotten substance is a good quality manure and is used in the agricultural fields. The use of biogas ultimately reduces the pressure on firewood. |
The improved cook stove has a scientific design to economise on firewood consumption. One cook stove per family is given to a beneficiery. |
