The installation of biogas plants for nearly 1,000 tribal households around the Statue of Unity is advancing with over 665 units already operational. The project targets 89 villages in Garudeshwar taluka, facilitated by the local panchayat and supervised by the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA).
Biogas plants utilize organic waste for fuel and produce slurry for soil enhancement, improving both health and agricultural output. As installations near completion, the initiative represents a significant move towards sustainable rural development, potentially decreasing deforestation and health risks from traditional cooking methods.
