aluminum sheet which has a reflectivity of over 75%.
The tracking of the cooker is manual and thus has to be adjusted in 15-20 minutes during
cooking time. It has a delivering power of about 0.6 KW which can boil 2 t0 3 liters of water in half an
hour. The temperature achieved at the bottom of the vessel could be around 350 to 400 c which is
sufficient for roasting, frying and boiling. The cooker having a thermal efficiency of around 40% can
meet the needs of 10 to 15 people and can be used from on to 15 people and can be used from one hour
after sunrise to one hour before sunset on clear days.
Dish solar cooker is being fabricated and promoted in the country by a few
manufacturers/suppliers. The cooker can be easily dismantled and assembled by anybody and thus may
be nicely packed and transported anywhere in the country. The cooker is user friendly as the place of
vessel to be kept for cooking is at a level which is convenient for the people to use. The cooker could be

Biogas based power units can be a reliable decentralized power generation option in the
country. In order to promote this route of power generation, specifically in the small capacity
range (3 kW to 250 kW), based on the availability of large quantity of animal
wastes and wastes from forestry,
rural based industries (agro/food processing), kitchen wastes, etc; a number of projects of
different capacities and applications will be taken up for refining the technical knowhow,
developing manpower and necessary infrastructure, establishing a proper arrangement of
operation & maintenance and large scale dissemination.
The projects to be taken up by any village level organization, institution, private entrepreneurs etc. in
rural areas as well as areas covered under the Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme of
MNRE other than the industries and commercialestablishments covered under Urban, Industrial &
Commercial Applications (UICA) programmes for sale of electricity to individual/community
