Under the scheme “National Biogas and Manure Management Program” family type biogas plants are being constructed in order to meet cooking & lighting need of the household. Besides, the plant supplied enriched manure.
So far 2.41 lakhs plants have been constructed with the financial support in terms of subsidy of the MNRE, GoI.
Reason for low progress is attributed to penetration of LPG , particularly through Ujala scheme , huge investment cost and shortage of cow dung .
