Village households mainly depend on wood & cow dung and other bio mass sources to meet their energy
requirements. Use of other bio mass sources for heating in a primitive way pose a great thrue to environment as well as
on the generally health of the rural people. Government in the developing & under developed countries are trying hard
to tackle these important issue that there is a need arise for the development of community based bio gas plant. From
research & design a family with between 5 to10 cows can produce a minimum 2.5m3
of gas which is adequate for
lighting and cooking for an average rural house holder of six people. In this research attempts were made to collect land
detail, house holders, cattle detail and need assessment with population growth for human being with the help of local
people and techno economic survey of Pati-village was carried out. After that planning, design & cost estimation of most
need based eco friendly bio gas plant was prepared.
