Shashwat’s dairy projects provide a regular supply of cattle dung that can be put to productive use. The Biogas Project helps farming families turn this resource into fuel for cooking while supporting the use of organic manure in agriculture.

With support from Tata Motors and through the NDDB Mrida initiative under the National Biogas Programme, Shashwat has implemented biogas plants with 35 farmers.

The project aims to reduce dependence on firewood, ease pressure on forests and lower pollution. Using cattle dung to produce biogas also helps families make better use of the resources available through dairy farming.

Alongside cooking fuel, the process produces slurry that can be used as organic manure. By connecting dairy farming, household energy and agriculture, the project supports practical improvements in everyday rural life.
