The Naina Devi Temple Trust, located in Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh, has become the first Shakti Peeth in the state to produce biogas from organic waste generated by its community kitchen, known as langar. This initiative marks a significant step in sustainable waste management for religious institutions in the region. The newly installed biogas plant has a processing capacity of 200 kilograms of organic waste and is currently producing about 20 kilograms of biogas daily. This biogas is utilized directly in the temple kitchen to prepare Prasad and langar meals. The temple typically consumes between 5 and 8 commercial LPG cylinders daily for its meals, and the biogas production is expected to reduce this dependency significantly. The project, which aims to expand its capacity in the future, was developed with technical support from Green Brick Eco Solutions, addressing both cost savings and effective waste disposal challenges previously faced by the temple.
