“…Pachauri (2004a) observed that both in an urban and in a rural set up the role of household income and location contributes to the major energy consumption pattern. Bhatia (1998) reported that the poor households pay more than the higher income households, and most of the time the energy poor are also income poor (Khandker et al, 2012). Thus, energy plays an important role in both the development of society and poverty alleviation (Pachauri and Spreng, 2004).…”

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is one of the cleanest sources of fuel for urban below poverty line (BPL) households and households of urban BPL group are shifting from traditional cooking fuels to cleaner energy use. However, providing cleaner sources of cooking fuel to its urban BPL households has become one of the biggest challenges for developing countries. This paper reported on a recent survey on the household energy consumption pattern of urban (BPL) families living in the slums of Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The present study developed a 4A's matrix (Affordability, Availability, Awareness, and Attitude) to evaluate the different reasons behind acceptance and non-acceptance of LPG among the respondents. The results indicate that the 4 A's do not function in silos; rather they create a cumulative effect by working alongside of each other.

“…In this paper it is explained the working of a mechanism to generate power by converting the potential energy generated by a vehicle going up on a speed breaker into kinetic energy. When the vehicle moves over the inclined plates, it gains height resulting in increase in potential energy, which is wasted in a conventional rumble strip (Bhatia, R 1988). When the breaker comes down, they crank a lever fitted to a ratchet-wheel type mechanism (an angular motion converter).…”
