[Stoves] Why Ujjwala Failed?

[Nikhil Desai]

Darpan:

This doesn't show that Ujjwala failed.

The consumer prevailed. Stacking empowers women. Kirk Smith's public health
fascism failed.

I am curious if upper-income households in areas with improved grid
reliability show growth in sales of electric kettles and water heaters,
rice cookers, microwave and induction stoves.

Forget fuel fetishism. Improving wood quality, charcoaling, and better
combustion, are still marketable options.

Or quality wood better be left for lumber. Let cooks and appliance sellers
do what they want. Enough of "international standards" and aDALYs, academic
junk.
