An innovative clean-cooking device is set to revolutionize the way millions of people in underdeveloped and developing countries prepare their meals. The brain behind this game-changing invention is Paikaray, who recently clinched the top prize at the SmartIDEAthon 2023, a prestigious competition organized by GITAM (Deemed to be University).
Paikaray’s latest invention is a heat-powered air blower and it is specifically designed to address a specific problem in rural households globally. Biomass stoves have been a crucial part of these households and in fact for generations. These stoves have been a source of indoor air pollution. The new device aims to provide a clean-cooking solution that could positively impact more than two billion people, particularly in regions like India, Africa, the Philippines and Bangladesh.
The trial phase of the device is presently underway and it is believed to provide promising results. The availability for the mass is expected by November and may cost just Rs 500 in India. It is said to be made accessible to a wide range of households. This development has the potential to not only improve the health and well-being of families in these regions but also contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
Paikaray’s win at the SmartIDEAthon 2023 highlights the significance of innovative solutions in addressing some significant global challenges. As the world continues to strive for cleaner and more efficient technologies, this invention stands as a beacon of hope for millions of people living in areas where clean cooking solutions are desperately needed.
