Abstract
The paper deals with the determination of energy consumption for work like brick-burning, pottery-making, rice milling, flour milling, edible oil extraction and hand-digging of borewells; and for domestic tasks like cooking, water heating, lighting, etc. The energy consumption is evaluated by physically measuring the fuel and labour inputs and monitoring the area for a month.
