Plant to come up in Madhya Pradesh to generate power, organic fertiliser

BHOPAL: To generate eco-friendly power from waste and produce organic fertiliser, a plant will be set up in 50 acre land in Baghelkhand area of Madhya Pradesh.

"An action plan has been chalked out to generate energy and organic fertiliser from waste in Rewa and Satna Municipal Corporations and Nagar Panchayat areas," a Public Relations department official said today.

For the purpose, 50 acre barren land has been selected at Bandha village on the outskirts of Rampur Baghelan area in Satna district to set up the plant, on the initiative of Energy Minister Rajendra Shukla.

The urban development and environment departments are finalising this cluster-based project.

After inspecting the project site recently, Shukla said the plant will be very useful in making the state self-reliant in energy sector.

The waste from Rewa and Satna urban bodies will be brought to the plant for producing energy and organic fertilisers.

Establishment of this plant will also ensure local bodies' success in Swachh Bharat Mission, the minister said.

Shukla informed that at present, this project is operating in Koshta village of Rewa district for which only 6.41 hectare land is available.

In view of the shortage of space there, it has been decided to set up the new plant at Bandha village in Satna district under Solid Waste Management Scheme
