domestic use of solar cookers at present it is being used in restaurants,
canteens and hostels for preparing of meal.
At present the solar cooker program is extensively being used in primary
and junior high school in Dehradun for preparing of mid day
meal. By using solar cooker we are trying to save extensive use of coal, wood,
kerosene oil, LPG & reducing the emission of Co2 which dose not only pollute
the environment leading to global warming but also adversely affect the health
of the people. Solar cooker is eco-friendly in all the way.
Concentrating solar systems have been found to be quite suitable for cooking food for hundreds
and thousands of people in community kitchens especially at religious places and institutional/industrial
canteens. For promotion of these systems, support upto 30% of the cost of solar field subject to certain
benchmarks is available under off-grid scheme of JNNSM . Higher support of 60% is available in
special category states. The systems are being installed through State Nodal Agencies/ accredited
private channel partners as per technical specifications laid down by MNRE.
The government of Uttrakhand has sent notification to the renewable energy nodal agency to take the following measures to incorporate renewable energy and energy efficiency measures:
1.Make renewable energy and energy efficiency a necessary component of all the departments.
2.Installation of solar water heaters in residential and non residential buildings and also the grid interactive solar photo voltaic power plants.
3. Planning to install solar water heaters in under construction buildings
4. All the local governments should ensure the installation of solar water heaters in different types of buildings before giving no objection certificate.
5. The department of power should ensure all the measures for energy efficiency and energy conservation in the industrial units.
6. Use of standard motors in the water supply stations with capacitors to save energy.
7. Energy metering for all the agriculture pumps and other pumps.
8. Replacement of old appliances with the energy efficient appliances in a phased manner in all the government offices.
9.Use of CFL lights for street lighting.
10. All the industrial units should also use solar street lights.
It is concentrating type parabolic dish solar cooker with aperture disameter of 1.4 meter
and focal length 0.28 meter. The reflecting material used for fabrication of this cooker is anodized
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
useful for individuals in rural as well as urban areas and also for small establishments like dhabas, tea
shops, etc. on road sides.
The cost of the cooker is Rs 8800/- and the Central subsidy is Rs. 5,280/-, it can save up to 10
LPG cylinders/year on full use at small establishments.

Read More Read LessBiogas 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
on mutually agreeable terms. The implementing organizations must ensure that sufficient feed
stock/ materials for proposed biogas plants size are available on sustainable basis and the
beneficiary organization gives an undertaking that the plant would be maintained and operated for a
minimum period of ten years
