### Engineering Students Explore Solar Cooker

T first-year students from Maharana Pratap University’s College of Agriculture and Technology visited the residence of Solar Woman Dr. Manju Jain in Arvind Nagar, Sundarvas, to learn about the solar cooker. 

Dr. Manju Jain explained the working mechanism of the solar cooker, describing it as a boon for working women and an eco-friendly tool. She highlighted that cooking with a solar cooker conserves gas while preserving the nutritional value and taste of the food. Students learned that the solar cooker can easily prepare dishes like peanuts, sweet potatoes, poha, semolina, cashews, and a variety of foods including kheer, kadhi, dal rice, and green vegetables.
