Cooking gas is an unnecessary luxury, said Simaru Kandi from Musapada village in Odisha’s Puri district. “Nature has given us all resources to lead a bountiful life,” explained Simaru. “Whenever we need firewood, we go, pick some dry branches from the forest near the village. At other times we use cow-dung as fuel.”
