Testimonial
SUVIDHA has performed an active engagement with rural communities and worked on the grassroots level to promote sustainable organic agriculture and conservation of natural environment in several states. Their efforts are tremendous in promoting sustainable livelihoods and transforming lives of the pro-poor community and marginalized communities living in India. I express my sincere thanks to the dedicated team of SUVIDHA and their contributions in bringing out such initiatives.
Now i can pack tiffins for my children and I can cook in a smoke less kitchen giving much rest to my fatigue.
Whenever there used to be any function in the village, I never use to get time to attend them. I never use to have time for my own. I love dancing and singing but hardly gets time to attend such functions. The day my biogas started working, I have not missed a single function in my community.
It won’t take much time as now I have Biogas and I can make tea in just 5 minutes without any smoke. I got time to make pickle for my family just because now I have some time to do what I feel good about.
Earlier i didn’t allowed my children to cook on coal fire because of High Risk but now i am fearless with Bio-Gas use and my children can cook food in my absence.
My mother in law lost her one eye sight due to heavy smoke intake during her cooking time and i was suffering too. That makes me more anger and frustrated in everyday life as we were not fortunate enough to have such technologies as biogas. Now with less angry and calm mind i can finish my work and spend time with my family
