Women will be involved and their perspectives reflected in the Policies and programmes for environment, conservation and restoration. Considering the impact of Environmental factors on their livelihoods, women?s participation will be ensured in the conservation of the Environment and control of environmental degradation. The vast majority of Rural Women still depend on the locally available non-commercial sources of energy such as Animal dung, Crop waste and fuel wood. In order to ensure the efficient use of these energy resources in an environmental friendly manner, the Policy will aim at promoting the programmes of non-conventional energy resources. Women will be involved in spreading the use of Solar energy, biogas, smokeless chulahs and other rural application so as to have a visible impact of these Measures in influencing eco system and in changing the life styles of rural women. In Recognition of the diversity of women?s situations and in acknowledgement of the needs of specially disadvantaged groups, measures and programmes will be undertaken to provide them with special assistance.
