  1. Hello,
    It is my firm belief that waste is best managed at source. I think it is a very good initiative a generally well thought out.I think it is smart to focus on rural India to popularize bio-methanization and use of resource recovered from organic waste generated locally. Also I find waste management practice is part of daily life in rural India. In rural settings waste is considered as a resource for ages , collection and separation of waste is part of the daily routine .I believe this initiative will assist waste management practices of farmers with technology to optimize benefits from it.

    However I think 1 CBM biogas plant for a rural home could be 3 CBM at the least and similar up-scaling needs to be done for capacities in the case of each waste generator category.

    Incentive distribution my be spread over at least 4 years in place of 1 year for technology adoption to take place at the village level .This will deliver a comprehensive benefit for increased production of farm products, reduction in expenses to wards farming, lower medical expenses, creation of wealth and retention of it at the village level.Opportunity of job creation locally to install,operate,maintain and repair such low carbon technology systems.

    THREE CHEERS TO OUR HONORABLE PRIME MINISTER.HE IS A VISIONARY LEADER AND WE INDIANS ARE LUCKY TO EXPERIENCE & ENJOY LEADERSHIP OF SUCH COMMITMENT & DRIVE .
    .
