At Urmul Seemant Samiti, we firmly believe that the most enduring changes come from within the community. By fostering community-driven initiatives, we aim to empower farmers across Rajasthan to become the architects of their own sustainable futures. In collaboration with the Farm India Foundation, our mission is clear: to provide rural farmers with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to thrive in a sustainable, eco-friendly way.
Mission Biogas: A Movement for Sustainability
Mission Biogas is not merely a technological intervention; it represents a profound shift toward a cleaner, greener, and more resilient lifestyle. This initiative seeks to address two critical concerns in rural Rajasthan: soil health and clean energy. By introducing biogas technology, we offer farmers a sustainable solution that enhances the fertility of their lands and provides a renewable source of clean fuel for their households.
Empowering Farmers through Accessible Technology
At the core of Mission Biogas is our commitment to making biogas technology accessible and affordable for every farmer. Our approach is community-focused, ensuring that farmers play an active role in the setup and use of biogas units. With the right training, tools, and support, each farmer becomes a vital part of a larger movement, transforming their land and their way of life.
Through this initiative, we help farmers transition from traditional, unsustainable methods to practices that enrich the soil, reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers, and cut down harmful carbon emissions. The adoption of biogas not only provides households with clean cooking fuel but also generates enriched slurry, a powerful biofertilizer that rejuvenates the desert soil.
A Movement for Lasting Change
Mission Biogas is a movement—one that transforms lives, households, and communities. By using biogas technology, farmers are not just adopting a modern tool; they are becoming changemakers, leading the way in building a more resilient and empowered rural community. This movement is rooted in the belief that every farmer has the potential to contribute to a more sustainable future, and we are here to provide them with the support they need to achieve that.
Impacting Lives and Lands
Since its inception, Mission Biogas has already made a significant impact across Rajasthan:
- Empowered over 1000 families by providing them with biogas units, allowing them to generate clean fuel at home and reduce their reliance on conventional energy sources.
- Reduced carbon emissions by 10,000 tons per year, contributing to the global fight against climate change.
- In Transition more than 10,000 bighas of desert land into chemical-free, sustainable farming through the use of enriched slurry from biogas digesters.
- Working across 15 districts in Rajasthan, with a goal to expand even further in the coming years, our initiative is reshaping the future of agriculture and clean energy in the region.
A Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, our vision for Mission Biogas is to scale this movement to reach even more farmers, families, and communities. Our aim is to empower 5000 farmers by 2027, helping them transition to sustainable, chemical-free farming practices. Through this, we aspire to create a ripple effect, where the use of clean, renewable energy becomes the norm rather than the exception, and the desert soil is restored to its natural fertility.
Together with the farmers of Rajasthan, Urmul Seemant Samiti and the Farm India Foundation are committed to building a greener, more resilient future—one where every farmer is a changemaker, and every household is a beacon of sustainability. This is the power of Mission Biogas: transforming lives, empowering communities, and nurturing the land for generations to come.
