A 30 cubic metre biogas plant has been commissioned at the Central Cattle Breeding Farm in Nirjuli, Arunachal Pradesh to convert cow dung into biogas for cooking and lighting. The plant supplies fuel to over 12 families on the farm and produces nutrient rich slurry that can be used to improve soil fertility. The project is intended to reduce dependence on liquefied petroleum gas and to cut local pollution. It forms part of a broader push towards sustainable living by turning livestock waste into useful resources. Arunachal Pradesh Energy Development Agency (APEDA) fast tracked the commissioning in collaboration with the AHV and DD department and with support from relevant state offices. Officials said the plant was inaugurated on 27 March 2026 and that officers from planning, power and the animal husbandry wings attended the event. Names listed among those present included the commissioner RK Sharma and the secretary YVVJ Rajasekhar. The gathering underscored interdepartmental cooperation in advancing renewable energy projects. The minister in charge, Gabriel D Wangsu, directed the department to prepare proposals to increase capacity and to replicate similar biogas plants across state farms. He instructed officials to promote clean energy adoption, to support organic farming practices and to prioritise effective utilisation of cattle waste for fuel and soil enrichment. The minister observed that such measures would reduce reliance on LPG and contribute to pollution mitigation while offering economic benefits to rural households. The directions reflect a policy push for sustainable agriculture and energy at the grassroots level. The project in charge, Dr Taba Heli, described the commissioning as a meaningful step towards a greener future that turns waste into usable resources and supports sustainable living. He urged farmers and field officers to replicate the model at the grassroots to secure long term benefits and to foster resilience in rural energy supplies. The plant is presented as a replicable template that combines waste management, renewable energy generation and organic fertiliser production. Continued monitoring and proposals for scaling up are expected to guide further deployments across the state.
