Using Storytelling for Rural Fuel Concern 

 Challenge : 

 The Challenge was to design and understand the lifecycle of Rural Indian Women . Women   have been out there in woods to gather the fuel from Forest . We intended to design a   methodology to provide easy to use clean fuel at every doorstep . The idea was to reduce   time & effort while equally providing clean fuel as it hampers respiratory organs . As women   have kids & old folks to look after at home they can not spend travel much in contemporary   times . While , equally important is to understand the movement from joint to nuclear families 

 Selection : 

 We intended use design thinking process to solve this concern . Of managing resources &   making life easier for Rural women of India . Since , this is not a mathematical or linear   program and involves deep concern for Human behaviour design thinking looks the best   way to go for this case . 

 Storytelling is the tool we have opted for this Challenge . Storytelling helps in putting   emotions to practive easily as learnt in week 2 of the course . Since , cooking fuel is one of   the most basic human needs and it ’s access gives healthy nutritious meal to all .   Understanding the story and emotions behind our challenge was most important .   As they   say , ther ’s a difference between solving a problem & creating a cause . Our motto was the   later half of previpous statement . 

 Storytelling has two aspect - > Knowing yoru audience & the sequence of actions . 

 Application : 

 The set of core team assigned on the project consisted of people from all spheres –   Manufacturing //Business//Social Responsibility//Finance . 3 groups were formed to travel to   three different locations to gainer deeper understanding . 

 The team spent 3 full days at 2 nearby location for one & Half days each . Team A went to   Himalayan Region in Uttarakhand . Team B went to Interiors of Chattisgarh in tribal belt .   Team C went to Rajasthan in desert districts . The idea was collect multivariate   understanding of the case . 

 The teams spent following the journey fo women folk from home to woods , the steps they   undertake to gather the bio fuel   & the process of coming back & utilising . Few team   members stayed back at home & observed the situation while women were out to collect   wood . 

 This helped the team to understand the audience , their motives their desires , their needs ,   their mental & physical expectations . While also helped them carve a clear timelines or   sequence of the event . By the Way it took 2 hours everyday in this process & is several   physical punishing processes . 

 Insight : 

 This team then met at a common location 7 drew out there learning in form of storytelling   process to each other . 

 The biggest insight that came out was the seasonal effect of this process . During   monsoons there is huge trouble . 

 Not only is the wood spoiled but also travelling time increases severely . alongside   the smoke is very harmful to the body . 

 This left us with a very clear approach to reduce the time , the physical pressure & to be   money saver for the Rural Women . 

 Approach : 

 The approach to this problem was storytelling & was very useful . But , looking in the   hindsight the approach could have been changed a little bit . 

 We could have used the tool of journey mapping also as this included following the   customer for full 3 days & understanding their working & functioning .
