Diksha is making Women in Rural Gujarat Healthy and Independent with her Smokeless Chulha
Diksha came up with a new design of chulhas. She cut down the height of the pipes to only one foot, and added a 2 feet long pipe after a bend. She then used a piece of bamboo as a chimney outlet, which did not create any hole in the roof.
The chulha is made from a special mud prepared by the villagers locally, using cow dung. She added an iron grate on the top of the chulhas, which hastens the process of cooking and also enables two utensils to be heated at the same time.
Thanks to Diksha’s intervention, the women in Dang now live a healthier life. The food cooks early and the utensils are cleaner as they don’t get very dark at the base.
Also, the usage of fuel has reduced by 50 percent. Earlier, if cooking one meal required 10 wood logs, this chulha uses only five.
