From LPG Access to Energy Equity: The Migrant Challenge | Dr Amit Kumar Thakur | TERI
India has made remarkable progress in expanding LPG access—but for migrants and the urban poor, the reality is far more complex.
In this insightful conversation with The Migration Story, Dr Amit Kumar Thakur, Associate Director & Head-CSR, TERI discusses the challenges of energy access, policy gaps, and the lived realities of migrant communities. From documentation barriers and energy poverty to health risks from biomass use, the discussion highlights why clean cooking transitions remain uneven.
The interview also explores solutions—from portability and digitization to renewable energy and TERI’s LaBL 2.0 (Lighting a Billion Lives) initiative, which links clean energy with livelihoods to create sustainable, inclusive development pathways.
