Pune's Eco Friendly Family: Cooking with Biogas at home

Say hello to the Dighe family. Residents of Karve Nagar in Pune, this family has become a role model for many others who want to change the way they impact the environment. Let Mrs Vimal Dighe, grandmother- environmentalist- 'senior in the house' explain to you how they have taken care of their household energy needs. Almost 50% of the fuel in their kitchen is a renewable source of energy, which is being produced right there, on their terrace.
