New Plant

Vidyapith had installed 3 bio-gas plants way back in 1995 to conserve energy by using the cow-dung and use the output for cooking in the Bhandar kitchen. After 3 decades of use, the production of bio-gas became insufficient, so a new project was planned. Vidyapith got a very reputable company to design the new bio-gas plant for helping in cook without the use of coal. Vidyapith is also assured that with the modern equipment they can use the kitchen waste materials apart from cow-dung for the production of bio-gas.

Cost

Makeen Energy India Pvt. Ltd. donated INR 15 lakhs for the installation of the new biogas plant. The Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation came forward under their CSR initiative to engage with Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Deoghar, and donated the balance fund of Rs. 27,00,000/- for the installation of a new Biogas Plant. The project took around 4 months to complete.

Impact of this project

The Vidyapith campus has 100+ gau-matas, who are kind enough to supply enough nutritious milk to keep the students, monks, and staff members healthy and energetic in order to perform their duties. The kitchen department works hard to make tasty food for the vidyapith inmates. A lot of bio-degradable waste is generated from the gau-shala and the kitchen. This is used to feed the bio-gas plant, thus generating bio-gas which is further used for cooking purposes. This reduces the dependency on non-renewable resources.
