The GOBARdhan scheme focuses on converting which of the following into valuable resources like compost and biogas?
Agricultural waste and cattle dung
GOBARdhan (Galvanizing Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan) was launched in 2018 under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen), with the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Ministry of Jal Shakti, as the nodal department.
It helps villages manage cattle dung and agricultural/biodegradable waste by converting it into biogas, compressed biogas (CBG) and organic manure (compost), improving sanitation and creating income for farmers.
Industrial and hazardous waste, plastic and e-waste, and marine waste are handled under separate rules and programmes, not GOBARdhan.
Hence, the GOBARdhan scheme focuses on agricultural waste and cattle dung.
