The machine is used to manufacture cow dung-based fuelwood in a long log-like shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A mixture of cow dung and cattle waste (like dried waste paddy) is inserted into the inlet(hopper) of this machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The machine then breaks it down, mixes it, and compresses the mixture in the shape of a log.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This log is then sun-dried and can be later used as fuelwood in various situations.<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly,<\/b> this machine can process 3000 kg of cow dung every day to produce 1500 kg of cow dung-based logs that can be used as firewood for the cremation of 5-7 bodies, saving roughly 2 trees in each cremation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Secondly, <\/b>it can help gaushala to cater to their waste management problems, provide an additional source of employment to its employees or nearby villagers and contribute to reducing deforestation.<\/span><\/p>\n Thirdly, <\/b>it also helps to engage the non-milking cows in an economical activity, generating funds to support all the cows in a gaushala.<\/span><\/p>\n Source: <\/b>The post is based on the article <\/span>\u201c<\/b>Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying hands over a \u201cGo Kasht\u201d machine to Project Arth and ENACTUS\u00a0 IIT Delhi students<\/b>\u201d <\/b>published in <\/span>PIB <\/b>on 6th May 2022<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the News?
