[Stoves] Extension of Improved Stoves

[Choppalli Venkata Krishna]

  Dear all
I have been following keenly on the delibrations for the last 3 months  mail by mail and gained immense theoretical knowledge.

My problem is " How to extend an Improved Smoke -Free Stove" to a rural woman?

This question I pose to all as I have installed around half a million stoves of different varieties and I have failed for their sustainability.Equally,I have witnessed with grief the 90% failure of Improved Stoves installedin my coutry, INDIA.
Only lesson I learnt that " It is not appropriate if it is not appropriate to a Woman". 
And 
"There are as many choices for stoves as, as many households."

There are abundant number of Improved stoves with excellent efficiency - but when it reaches the user, it is not accepted as well is not SUSTAINED.
Kindly help me
Regards
