Uttar Pradesh Plans Mini Biogas Plants in 1 Lakh Rural Homes to Promote Cow Protection and Clean Energy
The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, plans to install mini biogas plants in over one lakh rural households to promote cow protection, clean energy, and rural self-reliance. These plants, costing between Rs 25,000 and Rs 50,000, will use cow dung and organic waste to generate cooking fuel, reducing LPG consumption and household expenses. The initiative also aims to produce organic manure, supporting chemical-free farming and boosting rural incomes and the local economy.
