Quick checkpoint - five questions on payback, star labels, UJALA, cooking fuels and saving water.

Question 1 of 5 What is a payback period?

The warranty length The time for savings to cover the extra upfront cost The loan tenure The product's lifespan

Payback equals the extra cost divided by annual savings.

Question 2 of 5 What do BEE star labels show?

Brand popularity Energy efficiency and annual energy consumption Price discounts Warranty

More stars mean higher efficiency, and standards tighten over time.

Question 3 of 5 How did UJALA lower LED prices?

By banning old bulbs Through huge bulk procurement By printing money By importing only

Demand aggregation drove prices from 300 rupees or more to under 100.

Question 4 of 5 Why can induction cooking compete with LPG on cost?

It uses no energy It is highly efficient, putting most energy into the pot Electricity is always free It needs no cookware

Costs depend on electricity tariffs, but efficiency helps.

Question 5 of 5 Why do unmetered water connections discourage saving?

Water is always scarce Households don't pay more for using more Meters are illegal Water is expensive

Without metering, there's little financial incentive to conserve.

We believe knowledge should be open to everyone, not limited by barriers.
