Question

Give any two reasons why alternative fuels are not popular in rural India.

Answer 1

Reasons why alternative fuels are not popular in rural India are:

1. Many alternative fuels, such as solar, biogas, and LPG, need an initial investment in equipment and installation, which can be too costly for many rural homes with limited financial means.
2. In rural areas, there is often little understanding of the advantages of alternative fuels, and the infrastructure required to supply or maintain these systems (such as biogas plants or solar panels) may be insufficient or unavailable.
