    This document discusses the SAKAR initiative to address the lack of alternative fuels and energy sources in the slums of Bhubaneswar, India. It notes that most slum residents rely on firewood as their main cooking fuel, which women and children risk abuse and rape collecting. SAKAR aims to implement programs informing slum residents, particularly illiterate women and girls, about alternate fuels to reduce health hazards from smoke inhalation and pollution. Recommendations include providing access to nutritious food, safe cooking methods, energy conservation techniques, and economical technology to transition residents away from traditional fuels.
