Madhya Pradesh Journal of Social SciencesSummary: Caste in West Bengal presents complexity, with SCs at 23.51 per cent and
STs at 5.8 per cent of the population, ranking third and ninth nationally.
This study explores energy consumption trends among these groups in West
Bengal, compared to India. Rural-urban disparities persist, with a notable
rise in traditional fuel usage in West Bengal post-2012. While forward
castes shift to cleaner fuels, SCs and STs predominantly rely on traditional
sources, with LPG as a secondary option. Despite government initiatives,
these disparities emphasise the need for targeted interventions to ensure
equitable access to clean energy for marginalised communities, aligning
with sustainable development goals.-Reproduced
