“…Similar to this is SolarAid in African countries, which aims to eradicate the use of kerosene lamps by providing affordable solar lights to off-grid communities (Zarsky & Wilson, 2009). Adding to the list, frugal innovations such as bottle lights in the Philippines (Kuo, 2014), the Wonderbag and Reel Gardening in Africa (Manyuchi et al, 2019;Mawire et al, 2020;Nieuwenhuizen, 2020) and the Hand Talk in Brazil are some classic examples of frugal technologies in the world. 'Any technology that claims the mantle of "appropriate" should also be adaptable and flexible, while eliminating-or at least minimising-adverse environmental impacts' (Darrow & Saxenian, 1986).…”

The discourse revolving around technology for sustainable development is a persistent centre of discussion and debate in both developed and developing economies. Considering ‘the appropriate technology model’ as a relevant model of technological development in developing economies like India and China, this article highlights how much India has influenced both the concept and practice of appropriate technological development. This article contributes an extensive literature overview to understand the relationship between frugal innovation (FI; termed Jugaad innovations in some South Asian countries) and sustainability. Applying the ‘lead market theory’ as a theoretical framework and using various examples, an attempt has been made to establish the nature of the association between them. These objectives are aimed at understanding India’s position and potential in the market for FIs. The article addresses issues that connect and combine the underlying drivers of technology and sustainability in the context of FIs.

“…Due to its capacity to take up heavy metals and grow in contaminated water, it has been utilized as a phytoremediation agent for wastewater treatments [20]. It has also been investigated as a possible source of bioenergy and fertilizers [21,22]. The plants have historically been used to treat digestive issues like atulence, intestinal worms, diarrhoea, and atulence.…”

The scientific community is becoming interesting in green synthesis since it is thought to be an environmentally friendly technique that produces no harmful waste and employs less toxic materials and solvents. Due to its simplicity and environmental friendliness compared to physical and chemical approaches, the use of plants to prepare metal and metal oxide nanoparticles has recently received a lot of attention. A flexible material for multiple uses, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) and magnesium chitosan composite were produced via green synthesis utilizing leaf extract. In order to make magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) and magnesium chitosan composite, aqueous leaf extract of Eichhornia crassipes was used in this study. The FT-IR approach was used to establish the existence of functional groups in the synthesized MgO nanoparticles and Magnesium Chitosan Composite. An X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was utilized to demonstrate the crystalline nature and size of the biosynthesized nanoparticle. The size, shape, and composition of greenly produced MgO nanoparticle and magnesium chitosan composite were confirmed using SEM with EDAX. The effect of gram positive (S. aureus) and gram negative (E. coli) bacteria on green synthesized MgO nanoparticles and magnesium chitosan composite was also investigated. Additionally, it was discovered that MgO nanoparticles significantly inhibit bacterial growth in both stains. This type of nanoparticle production makes it appropriate for antibacterial research. For the manufacture of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) and its composite in medical and environmental applications, green fabrication is a new and environmentally friendly process.

“…Jain and Sheth [8] calculated a power execution check for a biomass cooking stove and originated with formulation acceptance and consequently upgrading of runtime to almost 85 minutes which is around 30% overall enhancement. Manyuchi et al [9] worked on enhancement of efficiency for conventional stove, they found that by changing some parameters on design point of view for conventional stove, energy effectiveness and energy storage enhancement takes place, which is a best method. Prasanna kumaran et al [10] designed merging of cooking plates in Favor of recovery of discarded hotness in the energy proficient wooden stove, where it is established that such acceptance guided with perfection in effectiveness together with reduction in contamination levels.…”

Maximum family members in India are using traditional stoves to prepare their three meals per day. Generally, raw wood, cow dung and rice husk are the main fuels for running traditional stoves. Due to improper design of conventional stoves, incomplete combustion of fuel occurs which creates air pollution. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 4 million people die prematurely each year from diseases caused by indoor air pollution caused by inefficient eating practices. The survey also found that 60% to 70% of rural women are suffering from throat cancer and most of them are respiratory system problem. Accordingly, the AYUSH Department of the Government of India found that most of the deaths during the Corona period were due to failure of the respiratory system. To solve the problem of air pollution from traditional home stoves. We have developed a smokeless stove that uses wood as primary fuel and superheated steam as secondary fuel. Due to supply of hot steam, the built-in stove is used for household and community purposes. The main objective of this work is to establish complete combustion of fuel, provide a smoke free environment and thereby reduce health hazards in rural households, especially among women.
