Sumul Dairy and N.D.D.B. aim to increase the value of dung and urine from our cattle in animal husbandry business. Under the joint effort of both organizations under the "Gobar Se Samriddhi Biogas Program" 135 units have been successfully installed by Sumul Dairy in the last financial year and during the current financial year 4608 units of a total of 4743 plants have been successfully installed at the member level.
A modest effort has been made to make 4743 cattle rearing families self-sufficient from Surat and Tapi districts by setting up a biogas plant that will last for the next 10 years from the dung of domestic animals at the cost of 7 LPG gas bottles.
This scheme has multiple advantages like dung directly going to the biogas plant prevents the spread of disease, there is no piles or piles of dung in the village and the dung is used in the biogas plant, the rabdi (slurry) does not contain disease-causing insects, flies, so that cleanliness and health are maintained in the village. Fermentation in the gas unit destroys the seeds that produce mold and do not germinate in the soil. This saves disposal costs, increases the natural fertilizing potential of dung and favors organic farming by converting organic waste into high quality organic manure.
