Assam to Produce Electricity from Husk!
Bamboo dust, rice husk and the sun will soon make the bulb glow in Puthimari gaon Panchayat in Assam's Darrang district. The country's first rural electrification programme using solar energy was launched in Puthimari Gaon panchayat recently. The programme is being implemented as part of the Centre's resolve to ensure electrification in all remote villages by 2009.
Assam Government has identified 2,139 villages, which are not accessible from the existing contentional power grid. Of them, 1,084 are located in Karbi Anglong and North Cachar Hills. The project will use bamboo dust and rice husk as the raw material to generate power. The Nagaon Paper Mill of Hindustan paper Corporation at Jagiroad has been asked to provide bamboo dust, while rice husk is available in abundance in and around the project sites.
