Ministry of Jal Shakti
GOBARdhan was launched by the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation in April 2018 as part of the Solid and Liquid Waste Management component under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) to positively impact village cleanliness and generate wealth and energy from cattle and organic waste. The scheme supports villages in effectively managing their cattle waste, agricultural waste/residue, and all other organic waste. It promotes the conversion of organic waste (especially cattle dung) to wealth through the generation of manure and energy, creating livelihood opportunities and enhancing income of farmers and rural people. The scheme involves entrepreneurs, SHGs, and Youth Groups in the setting up and operation of biogas plants.
