Noting the significant health impact of the use of solid fuels and traditional cooking systems on (public) health indicators, it is imperative to find clean cooking solutions for urban slum dwelling communities. While several efforts have been made to reduce indoor air pollution in India, most efforts focused on "enhancing stove energy efficiency, and not reducing emissions." Also, use of a strict top-down approach in the community was responsible for many unsuccessful projects. The current project is based on principles of co-creation, involving the local community in designing and producing clean cook stoves; a more scalable and sustainable solution than fully subsidized efforts.
