National Biogas and Manure Management Programme

• To provide fuel for cooking
  purposes and organic manure to rural households through family type
  biogas plants
• To mitigate drudgery of
  rural women, reduce pressure on forests and accentuate social benefits
• To improve sanitation in
  villages by linking sanitary toilets with biogas plants

• Indigenously developed
  models of biogas plants are promoted.
• States have designated
  nodal departments and nodal agencies for implementation. Besides,
  Khadi and Village Industries Commission, Mumbai; National Dairy
  Development Board, Anand (Gujarat), and national and regional level
  non-governmental organisations are involved in implementation.
• Project provides for
  different types of financial incentives including central subsidy to
  users, turn key job fee to entrepreneurs, service charges to State
  Nodal Departments / Agencies and support for training and publicity.
•  Various kinds of
  training programmes are supported. Biogas Development and Training
  Centres, functioning in nine major States, provide technical and
  training back up to State Nodal Departments and Nodal Agencies.
• Commercial and co-operative
  banks provide loan for setting up of biogas plants under
  Agriculturally Priority Area. National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
  Development (NABARD) is providing the facility of automatic
  refinancing to banks.
