Bijuli Chulo

The National Association of Community Electricity Users-Nepal (NACEUN) is a national federation of Community Rural Electricity Entities (CREEs). Since its establishment in 2005 under the NGO registration act, NACEUN has grown into a strong network comprising of over 300 CREEs from 54 districts in Nepal. There are 17 district chapters and 6 province chapters of NACEUN. Currently, 550,000 households have been electrified by these community rural electrification programs. Likewise some additional households will have electricity access after completion of under-construction projects in different districts. We are committed to ensuring a future where every Nepali, irrespective of caste, gender, and position in the community has access to clean, affordable, and reliable electricity and the members benefit from its productive end-use. ` In regard to promoting productive end-use of electricity, considering electrical safety as the major aspect, Bijuli Chulo app has been designed. This application aims to aware people of the requirements, benefits, and usage of electric cooking. We believe this initiative contributes to promoting a cleaner kitchen and surroundings to reduce cooking-related health complications and drudgeries due to traditional or unclean cooking practices. This app contains videos of recipes and methods for cooking various meals using electric cooking devices such as electric pressure cookers, induction cooktops etc. including measures for electrical safety at household and enterprise levels.
