Rohitas Electronics is proud of being one of
the leading solar cooker manufacturer. The company was established in 1976
by Mr. C. K. Rohatgi who had the vision that non-conventional energy was
the answer to the plight of women who are otherwise condemned to spend
their lives inhaling toxic smoke in urban kitchens or in search of firewood
in rural areas. He saw that non- conventional energy held the key to
promote all-round health and well-being. Over the years, Rohitas promoted
the development & production of solar water heating systems, domestic
solar cookers and solar P.V based lighting equipment.
Solar cooking changes the lives of people
for the better. Tulsi Solar cookers manufactured by Rohitas Electronics are
ideal for the nuclear family, which is becoming the norm of society. Mr.
Rohatgi decided that he should constantly strive to incorporate user-
friendly features in his solar cookers. His efforts have resulted in a wide
range of solar cookers - cookers that were efficient, durable and
economically priced. Rohitas cookers can meet the demands of any country in
the world.
The chief Technocrat of the company Mr.
C.K. Rohatgi is a member of Bureau of Indian Standards, the government
agency, which lays down standards of technical efficiency for industrial
products. His articles have been published in various magazines and
journals. He is a regular invitee as a guest lecturer at leading
technological institutes, seminars and training programs on solar thermal
technology . Mr. Rohatgi represented Government of India to Kingdom of
Morocco as an Expert on Solar Thermal technology a rare opportunity granted
to any private entrepreneur in India.
The company was first to develop energy
efficient, cost effective evaporative type desert coolers for tropical
countries and energy efficient cooler fans for use in room coolers, which
have been successfully marketed across the country. The design was copied
