This study focused on poverty, gender and environment and health issues in Himachal Pradesh and involved a gender specific survey to address this issue. The study found women walk approximately 30 Kms in a month to collect fuel-wood. Primary survey estimated accessibility and use of clean fuel by households for 30 villages in two districts and a survey on the kerosene depots was also conducted to get the seller\u2019s perspective of supply situation under Public Distribution System(PDS). It was found that the people in HP are willing to pay for Kerosene, the next fuel on the energy ladder above biofuels, but due to increased availability of LPG, the demand for kerosene has been on the decline. The profit margins in selling kerosene under PDS are fairly low as a result most sellers have other businesses, commonly ration shops and view this as a supplementary business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Gender audit exercise was carried out to define an approach in making national energy policies more gender responsive in terms of its content and process. The key recommendations consisted of (a) Reorienting Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanisms to Reflect Gender concerns in Energy programmes, (b) Linking women\u2019s empowerment with energy development, (c) Inter-Ministerial Coordination in addressing Energy Security and (d) Operationalizing the Goal of \u201cMaking Cooking Fuels Available within 1 Km. of Habitations\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
