Samuchit Enviro-Tech Private Limited (SET) is a private limited company registered in India. Its objective is re-establishment of rural entrepreneurship based on appropriate technology. It works as a commercial associate of Appropriate Rural Technology Institute (ARTI) for commercialising energy technologies developed by ARTI. ARTI is a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) registered in India, which has won international acclaim for its pioneering work in the field of biomass energy. The current focus of SET’s business is on biomass fueled cooking devices and clean burning biomass based fuels for rural and periurban households in India in particular, and the entire developing world, in general.

The products being marketed by SET address the problem of indoor air pollution. Long term exposure to indoor air pollution has an adverse health impact on women and children in rural households. According to World Health Organisation, indoor air pollution caused by smoke from traditional cook stoves is responsible for 2,000,000 premature deaths every year among women and children in the developing world. Our products reduce the drudgery of the women and children of the developing world. Based on a field study conducted by ARTI, the products reduce indoor air pollution by about 30% or more. Combined with energy saving cooking practices, it is possible to reduce the fuel consumption by about 50-70% by using these products.
