The present book on adoption of Improved Chulha by Rural Families is a part of doctoral research study conducted in Gujarat. The study mainly concentrated on adoption level of improved chulhas constructed in the villages on subsidy basis by government and NGOs under National programme on Improved Chulha. The Technical Backup Support Unit (TBSU) established under NPIC at Home Management Department which caters to the needs of NPIC in Gujarat State and Union Territories of Daman-Diu and Dadra Nagar and Haveli developed pottery/ceramic liners for chulhas which were installed since 1991-92 in different parts of Gujarat State by Panchayat and Rural Housing Development Department, the department of Government of Gujarat and nodal agencies like Gujarat Energy Development Agency. Hence this research study was taken up to answer questions like problems faced by families in procuring fuel for cooking, awareness level of the women about scarcity of cooking fuel, management practices in cooking and fuel use, level of participation in NPIC, extent of adoption of MC in daily cooking and factors account for differential levels of adoption of chulha. It has also probed into association between extent of adoption of MC and selected situational, personal and family variables of beneficiaries of NPIC.

Charcoal Foundry, the first book in the "Metal Working Shop From Scrap Series", gives you plans for building a metal melting furnace and instructions on basic pattern making and molding. All the information needed to set up a foundry in your work shop can be found in this book. Simply stated, if you can build a sand castle or make a mud pie, you can make a sand mold to produce castings for your metal shop projects. The main ingredient in these projects is scrap aluminum and pot metal. The only tools you need to get started are ordinary home shop hand tools, many of which are probably already in your possession. Much of the remainder is found as salvage or cast-off and little expense need be involved. The charcoal foundry is simple to build and operate and the initial cost is so low that it can be in the reach of nearly anyone. And the fundamentals of pattern-making and molding are easily understood and mastered. Once you have built the charcoal foundry and the metal lathe in book 2, there is little beyond your reach by way of shop equipment. Build as large or small as you wish and you are your own parts supply company. If you already have some machine shop equipment, you will find that adding a foundry to your shop greatly expands your capacity. Being able to produce your own castings for accessories and equipment is a great advantage. Design your own, make a copy or follow a plan. It's easy when you're in control and can produce your own castings.
