About Us

The primary objective of our company is to re-establish rural entrepreneurship with the help of appropriate technology. To accomplish this, we work as a commercial associate of Appropriate Rural Technology Institute (ARTI) that is a non-government organization (NGO) registered in India. We are working towards commercializing energy technologies developed by ARTI. The NGO has been acclaimed at the international level for the pioneering work done by it in the field of biomass energy and agriculture.

The current focus of our business is to market biomass fueled cooking devices and clean burning biomass based fuels. We intend to popularize these, especially in the rural and periurban households in India and in the households of the developing nations, at large.

Our hard work, dedication and commitment have been recognized by several reputed organizations and committees. Our Chairman, Dr. A.D. Karve has been bestowed with the following honors:

2007 :

• Certificate of Merit from United States Environmental Protection Agency for innovation in improved cook stoves design
• Award from Vasantrao Naik Krishi Pratishthan, Mumbai
• Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Application of Science and Technology to Rural Development

• Godavari Gaurav Award from Kusumagraj Foundation, Nashik, Maharashtra

We are a socially responsible organization and ensure that our entire range of biomass fueled cooking devices, biogas plants and bio-plastic products do not have any adverse effects on the environment. In fact, the products marketed by us actually address environmental issues such as indoor air pollution and waste management. It has been observed by long term exposure to indoor air pollution can lead to adverse effects on the health of women and children of rural households. World Health Organization estimates that as many as 2,000,000 premature deaths every year among women and children in the developing world can be attributed to long term exposure to smoke in the kitchen.

The bio-degradable products offered by us are designed to help reduce the toil of women and children belonging to the developing countries.  According to a field study conducted by ARTI, our products aid in reducing indoor air pollution level by around 30%. Further, when these are combined with cooking practices directed towards saving energy, it is possible to reduce the amount of fuel consumption by almost 50-70%.
