Switching entirely to liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) to meet household energy needs is one
way of greatly lowering exposure to indoor air pollution,
while simultaneously bringing additional benefits of time
savings and convenience. Although there are a number of
reasons why many households do not use LPG, the primary
reason is that the poor cannot afford it. The Government of
Andhra Pradesh has launched an innovative targeted subsidy
programme, the Deepam scheme, to encourage the uptake of LPG
among low-income households. This issue of the newsletter
presents the results of an independent evaluation of the
Deepam scheme carried out by the National Institute of Rural
Development (NIRD) in Hyderabad. |
