West Bengal to Install Biogas Plants at Tribal Schools for Cooking Gas
The West Bengal government plans to install biogas plants at residential schools for tribal students in six districts. The project aims to use organic waste from campuses to produce cooking gas, reducing reliance on conventional fuels and addressing waste disposal. Each site will be assessed to determine the necessary biogas plant size, and the project is estimated to cost over Rs 15 lakh. Maintenance support will be included to ensure functionality. Completion is expected within four months, with potential expansion to other institutions based on performance.

The West Bengal government will install biogas plants at 'Eklavya Model Residential Schools' and hostels for tribal students in six districts to promote cleaner energy. The biogas units will convert organic waste produced on campuses into cooking gas for hostel kitchens, reducing reliance on conventional fuels.
Each campus will be assessed to determine the appropriate plant size based on student numbers and waste volume. The project cost is estimated at over Rs 15 lakh, covering installation and maintenance. Installations are expected to be completed within four months, with funding allocated and agencies invited for selection. Performance will be monitored for potential expansion to other government-run institutions.
