Transforming livelihoods in Ballal village through biogas
Ujwala Hari Babilwad, a resident of Ballal village and a participant in the PSCP More Regenerative Project, shares her transformative experience:
“I have been working on the regenerative farming project for the past two years. My family of four—my husband, two children, and I—cultivate five acres of farmland and own one cow, two bulls, and two buffaloes. When SEWA introduced the biogas initiative in our village, many were hesitant to adopt it. However, I took the initiative to install a biogas unit in my home, and it has completely changed our way of life.
“With biogas, we no longer rely on expensive LPG gas. Our cooking needs are entirely met using biogas, which has significantly reduced our household expenses. We no longer worry about booking LPG cylinders or traveling to Bhokar to refill gas tanks. Moreover, the nutrient-rich slurry produced as a byproduct of biogas has greatly enhanced the fertility of our farmland, leading to healthier crops and improved yields. The financial savings and farm productivity gains have directly contributed to a better quality of life for our family.”
