Majority of Indian kitchens do not have access to clean cooking energy. We have been worst in the world, and are still so. There are many programmes to trumpet, but government fails to provide a full clean energy security cover to over half of the population. In 2015, the population without access to clean cooking was 85.3 crore, over 27 crore from China. We have been successful in giving access to only a few crore people since then. Obviously, the speed is not enough, requiring an intensive set of actions and policies lowering costs and ease of having energy in times of need.
