Abstract

Clean cooking is one of the indicators specified in the Sustainable Deve­lopment Goal (SDG) 7 to meet the objective of affordable and clean energy to all by 2030. In India, efforts are ongoing from the last two decades to bring the transition from solid to clean cooking. In May 2016, India had also implemented a dedicated programme to subsidise liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) connection through the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. Yet the current situation is very grim.
