Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying handed over cow dung log machine, “Go Kasht” machine to Project Arth and ENACTUS IIT Delhi students.
- Cow dung log machine is used to manufacture cow dung-based fuel wood in long log-like shape. A mixture of cow dung and cattle waste (like dried waste paddy) is inserted in the inlet(hopper) of this machine.
- The machine then breaks it down, mixes it, and compresses the mixture in the shape of a log. This log is then sun dried and can be later used a fuel wood in various situations.
- This machine can process 3000 kg of cow dung every day to produce 1500 kg of cow dung-based logs that can be used as firewood for the cremation of 5-7 bodies, saving roughly 2 trees in each cremation.
- That further means it can help the gaushala to clear roughly 150,000 to 170,000 kg of cow dung every month.
