UP Government Biogas Unit Scheme: The UP government has now announced the start a new scheme for people coming from rural areas. Due to this, the use of LPG gas will be reduced to a great extent.

The UP government keeps announcing some scheme or the other for the citizens of its state every day. Some of these schemes are related to agriculture. While some are a relief for poor families. The government tries to cover people coming from almost all sections. The scheme that is being started this time. It is directly related to the kitchen of the people.

Actually this new scheme is about the use of LPG gas cylinders. With this scheme of the government, the use of cylinders by farmers and common people living in villages will end to a great extent. In such a situation, now this question is arising in the minds of the people, will this scheme of the UP government really replace the LPG cylinder. Let us tell you complete information about this.

Biogas units will be set up in villages

The UP government is now preparing to set up biogas units in villages. These plants will be set up in the homes and fields of farmers so that a new source of kitchen fuel can be prepared. Through this scheme, farmers will not only get another option of cooking gas. But organic fertilizer will also be made. That is, double benefit will be available from a single unit. Through this scheme, the government wants the villages to fulfill their energy needs themselves and move forward in an environment-friendly manner. At present, this scheme is limited to cow shelters. But the government is aiming to take it to every farmer's house.

Will LPG cylinders be replaced?

With the new scheme of the UP government, the need for LPG cylinders in villages can be eliminated to a great extent. Biogas plants will be set up directly near the farmers' homes or fields. From there, they will get both gas for the kitchen and organic fertilizer for the farm. According to Dr. Anurag Srivastava, an official of the Uttar Pradesh Gauseva Commission, after these plants, the consumption of LPG cylinders in villages will be reduced by about 70 percent.

That means the families who were spending every month on refilling gas cylinders, will now be able to save a lot of money due to biogas. However, it would not be right to say right now that it will replace LPG cylinders. With this biogas unit, there will be no need to buy chemical fertilizers from outside for the fields. The government's aim is that villages should become self-sufficient in terms of energy and kitchen expenses should also be reduced.
