Sampark Sanstha, a grassroots organisation working in Madhya Pradesh since 1987, implemented the Renewable Energy and Clean Cooking Project in Jhabua district from April 2003 to March 2005. The project aimed to improve energy availability, reduce indoor pollution and empower rural households by introducing solar power systems and smokeless chulhas.
Sampark Sanstha, a grassroots organisation working in Madhya Pradesh since 1987, implemented the Renewable Energy and Clean Cooking Project in Jhabua district from April 2003 to March 2005. The project aimed to improve energy availability, reduce indoor pollution and empower rural households by introducing solar power systems and smokeless chulhas.
✅ Installed solar panels with battery backup for uninterrupted lighting in 129 households in three villages – Pipliyapad, Kalighati and Kunwarjhar.
✅ To promote the use of smokeless chulhas, chulhas were installed in about 500 households and 50 women were trained to make smokeless chulhas, which reduced firewood consumption by 60%.
✅ Formed Village Energy and Environment Committees (VEECs) to ensure local governance and sustainability.
✅ Trained 6 local women in solar panel maintenance and repair.

95% of solar systems are working effectively, allowing households to save an average of ₹130 per month on kerosene.
70% reduction in indoor air pollution and 85% reduction in respiratory diseases among women and children.
30 women empowered through participation in maintenance and village decision-making.
Reduced deforestation and environmental degradation through reduced consumption of firewood.

The success of this project was driven by community participation, local training, and village-level governance. It serves as a model for scalable rural development through renewable energy and clean cooking solutions.
SAMPARK distributed 16,000 smokeless cookstoves, reducing indoor air pollution and firewood consumption by 50%. Solar lights were provided to 200 homes, saving 20,000 litres of kerosene monthly. These eco-friendly interventions reduced health hazards for women and children, improved study conditions at night, and supported energy sustainability in remote tribal villages with little or no grid access.
