Three years ago, when she was still using a chulha to heat water for bathing, Jaindra Khobragade – an ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) worker in Nanded village in Bramhapuri forest area of Chandrapur district – had to walk nearly 5 miles to get firewood in the jungle. In addition to the physical strain, there was a very real threat: an encounter with a tiger. Now, she has the “bumbb”; a tall black cylindrical radiator in her house that shortens her trips to find firewood and multiplies the amount of water she can heat at once.
This new water heater was distributed to households at a 75% subsidy to reduce human-wildlife conflict in the tiger corridor. “Bumbb”–as locals call the energy-efficient, biomass-powered water heater–recently won the prestigious UNDP Mahatma Award for Biodiversity 2023 from the Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT).

However, this never made it into the state’s final spending plan.
