AP to take to biodiesel in big way: Minister
Oct 10 News.
The southern Indian state of Andhra pradesh, in an effort to improve the livelihood opportunities for farmers and farmless labourers, has chalked out an ambitious programme to take up cultivation of biodiesel plantations in a big way in the State by providing cent per cent subsidy.
Informing this, the state's Agriculture Minister said to start with, biodiesel plantations would be taken up in one lakh acres each in the districts of drought-prone Anatapur, Mahboobnagar and Kadapa with participation by peasants and landless labourers.
Since cultivation of Jatropha under the rain-fed condition was not not giving the expected results, the Government wanted to concentrate mainly on pongamiya (Pongamia pinnata, also known as Karanj?), he added.
The Government would support the farmers and landless labourers in cultivating biodiesel plantations by paying them for maintenance from the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme, for the first three years.
