Title : Need to sanction a ‘Bio-Methonation Plant’ for Oddanchatram town in Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu for generating electricity from vegetable waste.
SHRI S.K. KHARVENTHAN (PALANI): Sir, in my Palani Parlamentary Constituency, Oddanchatram is one of the Assembly Segments. Oddanchatram town in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu is famous for vegetables, butter, ghee and fruits.
There is one of the biggest vegetable markets in Oddanchatram Town. Thousands of farmers from the near by districts sell their vegetables here and huge quantities of vegetables, fruits are sent to various parts of the country. Nearly hundred of retail vegetables agencies are functioning here. In this market, huge quantities of vegetable wastes are accumulating every day and it is not used for any purpose and this is polluting the atmosphere. Hon’ble Minister is well aware that under a new technology electricity can be generated from vegetables wastes by way of installing a “Bio-Methonation Plant.”
Hence, I urge upon the Hon’ble Minister of Non-Conventional Energy to sanction a “Bio-Methonation Plant” for Oddanchatram Town in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu to generate electricity from vegetables, fruits and other plastic wastes.
