what are conservation of environment in odanthurai village in Tamil Nadu?
Answers
Answer:
The village council of Odanthurai in Tamil Nadu has set a benchmark by successfully using wind, solar and biogas to not only lower energy costs but to also turn a surplus.
The area governed by Odanthurai village council in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu was once poverty stricken, lacking energy access, water supply and even adequate housing. Things changed in 1996, when K. Shanmugam, a local farmer, was elected as council president.
A winding road flanked by coconut trees and thick banana plantations leads to the farm of Shanmugam, former panchayat (village council) leader of Odanthurai in the Mettupalayam administrative block. Odanthurai panchayat is on the foothills of Western Ghats, 40km from Coimbatore city.
To run the local drinking water plant, he set up a 9 KW biomass gasifier system. The gasifier substituted grid electricity, saving pumping cost by almost 70%. For running the gasifier at low cost, villagers procured wood waste from a sawmill.
“We purchased waste wood at INR 0.60 per kg. At that time, the cost of electricity per unit was INR 3.50, and we saved 50% of the energy cost,” Shanmugam said. “In couple of years, the wood waste price increased to INR 3.50 per kilo, and a unit of electricity cost Rs 1.75. Since it made sense to use grid electricity, we discontinued the biomass gasifier to operate the drinking water plant.”
Hope it helps !!!
