Abstract

Clean cooking fuels promote health and provide more benefits in comparison to solid fuels. But, despite the availability of clean cooking fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the shift from solid to clean fuel is unsatisfactory. This article examines the viewpoint of beneficiaries—the women of the household—through the qualitative analysis of data from focus-group discussions among those who have transitioned to LPG through the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana scheme. The article suggests that perspectives and fuel accessibility should be mobilised in a manner that would enable women to use fuel sustainably.
