Biomass Procurement at ₹2.50 per Kg Boosts Rural Livelihoods

The scheme purchases biomass from residents at a fixed rate of ₹2.50 per kilogram, coupled with performance‑based incentives to ensure quality feedstock. Farmers and forest‑dependent communities are encouraged to collect foliage, bamboo shoots and other organic waste, turning them into a revenue stream. This approach not only fuels the biochar production line but also raises awareness about sustainable resource use, fostering a circular economy in the remote hills of Hamirpur.
