In hill region of Uttarakhand state, women play a distinctive role
not only in household but in daily routine activities like fuel
wood collection, livestock raising, farming operations etc. Hill
women in spite of their major role, are resource poor and ignorant
about their own problems and sufferings. Hill women use traditional
stoves or chulhas for cooking which emanates smoke. Since, kitchens
in the most hilly homes are poorly ventilated, the smoke gets
accumulated in the house. Prolonged exposure to high levels of
pollutants has an adverse impact on the health of women. Although,
enough viable and adoptive technologies have been developed but
many of these are not reaching to the women residing in remote
areas. Thus, an attempt was made to create awareness among the hill
women of Uttarakhand through the low cost communication aids.
