Gramigo Foundation (NGO), Bihar Govt, 20 CUM biogas plant
Gramigo Foundation worked with the Government of Bihar and Thekra Gaushala Masalpur to overcome a major problem faced by Gaushalas, which involved caring for unproductive animals with limited funds. Government support helps with basic needs, but it is often not enough for daily running costs and staff salaries. To make the system more self-reliant, a 20 CUM biogas plant was set up. It converts cattle dung into clean cooking gas and useful organic manure.
Transforming Rural Energy: A Real Impact Story of Sustainable Change
Watch how Gramigo Foundation partnered with the Bihar Government to install a 20 Cum biogas plant, empowering rural communities with clean energy, reducing waste, and promoting sustainable living.
Objectives
Promote sustainability, cost efficiency and resource optimization of Gramigo Foundation’s cow shelters through clean energy solutions.To support clean energy use and enhance savings in Gaushalas.
01.
To support clean energy use and enhance savings in Gaushalas.
02.
To reduce the use of LPG by producing renewable energy from waste.
03.
To create a relaible income source for Gaushala activities.
04.
To manage cow dung properly and keep the surrounding area clean and hygienic.
Challenges
Solving financial problems, poor waste management, and increasing daily operating costs at Gramigo Foundation’s cow shelter.
Limited Financial Support
Government funds were not sufficient to meet all operating and maintenance expenses.
Non-Productive Cattle Burden
Gaushalas mainly house unproductive animals, resulting in very high maintenance costs without generating direct income.
Waste Management Issues
Proper disposal of large quantities of animal dung is important to avoid environmental related problems.
Impact
Creating clear benefits through saving costs, generating income, and supporting long-term sustainable change.
Reduced Fuel Costs
The Biogas produced from the cow dung reduces fuel costs.
Extra Income Source
Selling nutrient-rich biogas slurry provides a regular and steady income.
Improved Waste Utilisation
By turning cow dung into clean energy and manure, waste management problems are reduced.
Enhanced Sustainability Model
By using the biogas plant, the Gaushala has become self-sufficient and follows a recycling-based circular economy system.
