Bio Gas Slurry: Due to the indiscriminate use of chemical, the land of the village is becoming barren. Soil is losing its fertility and crop production is also decreasing. There is only one solution to this problem in the form of organic farming. Manure made from cow dung not only increases the number of organisms in the soil, but also improves the productivity of the crop. The central and state governments are also promoting organic farming in different ways. In this episode, it is also advised to set up a biogas plant. It is helpful in generating additional income for farmers and animal herders.
These biogas plants not only provide fertilizers for agriculture, but also provide fuel for burning the stove. In this way, along with farming, the cost of kitchen can also be saved.
The good news is that now farmers are getting financial help for setting up biogas plants. In this episode, the Haryana government has also sought applications from the farmers.

What will be the advantage of setting up a biogas plant?
There is a lot of practice of farming and animal husbandry in our rural areas. The rural economy rests on both these works. A lot of cow dung is available from animal husbandry and dairy business, which if used properly can increase crop production as well as income.
Understand it in such a way that fodder is available for the animals from the fields and dung is obtained from the animals after eating the fodder. This cow dung is again used as bio-fertilizer, vermicompost or slurry as manure for growing crops or fodder. It acts as a more powerful bio-fertilizer than chemical. If farmers set up a biogas plant, they can save a lot of farming expenses.
