This will provide economic and resource benefits to farmers and households. Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation is working with concerned Departments/ Ministries/ State Governments, public and private sector institutions and village communities to give this a shape of ‘Janandolan’ so that community collective action on Gobardhan is achieved. The unified portal can be accessed through the link gobardhan.co.in.

Gobardhan will benefit rural people in general and women in particular from the use of clean fuel, improved cleanliness in villages and through improvement in health. This initiative will support biodegradable waste recovery and conversion of waste into resources, reduction of GHG emission, reduction in import of crude oil, give boost to entrepreneurship and promote organic farming.

• In addition to this, Gobar Dhan scheme will improve the life of people living in rural areas.
• Moreover, farmers can utilize this solid waste & cow dung in their farms and reuse it as compost, fertilizer, bio-gas and also as bio-fuel.
• Furthermore, central govt. has also taken other decisions to open various health and wellness centers in villages, improvement of infrastructure for rural business centers, better connectivity between villages and cities and also centers for higher education.

Project Models of Gobardhan Scheme 2024

Here are the 4 project models which families can adopt to implement Gobardhan Scheme, details of each one is mentioned below:-

Individual Household

This model can be adopted by households which have three(3) or more cattles. Households construct biogas plants for which information, technical and financial assistance will be provided under SBM(G). The biogas and slurry generated from the plants are used for cooking and as manure by the households.

Community

The biogas plants can be constructed for a minimum number of households (5 to 10). The plants can be operated and managed by GP/SHGs. The gas generated will be supplied to households/restaurants / institutions and slurry can be used by the community as organic manure in agriculture or sold to farmers.

Cluster

In this model , individual biogas plants are installed in number of households in a village/ group of villages. The biogas generated is used by the households and the slurry is collected at a common place, separated to solid and liquid parts and then fortified and sold as biofertilizers.

Commercial CBG

CBG plants can be set up by Entrepreneurs / Cooperative Societies/ Gaushalas etc. The raw biogas produced is compressed and can be used as vehicular fuel and / or sold to industries. The slurry generated is converted into organic manure / bio-fertilizer and can be sold to farmers.
