## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (I/C) (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a)  The  Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable  Energy  (MNRE)  has  been  implementing  the National Biogas and Manure Management Programme (NBMMP), for setting up of family type biogas plants and the annual targets were allocated to States and UTs for each of the last three  years  from  2015-16  to  2017-18.    The  State  /  UT-wise  details  of  the  annual  targets allocated and achievements made during each of the last three years under the NBMMP are given in Annexure-I.
- (b) The NBMMP Scheme has been continued after its modification and redesigned as New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP), which is effective from the current year 2018-19. Under this programme, the size range of family type biogas plants has been  enhanced  up  to  25  cubic  metre  capacity  to  cover  untapped  potential  in  the  rural  and semi-urban areas. In addition, the Central Financial Assistance (CFA) has also been enhanced under the NNBOMP, which varies from a minimum of Rs.7500/- per plant for 1 cubic metre size Biogas Plants to Rs.35,000/- per biogas plant  in the small biogas plant size range of 2025  cubic  metre    for  the  beneficiaries  of  NER  States  including  Sikkim  and  SC  &  ST Categories of those areas.
- (c) The New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP) Scheme provides for  imparting  training  on  biogas  to  the  beneficiaries  of  biogas  plants  through  Biogas  User Courses. Biogas plants are helpful in reducing the health hazards and biogas is the cleaner cooking fuel.  The details of various training courses to be carried out during the current year are given in Annexure-II.
