AIRCP on EAAI Ranchi Centre

25/03/2026

Conducted an energy audit survey for rice–wheat cropping systems at Palani and Baghmara villages of Baliapur block, Dhanbad district, Jharkhand under AICRP on EAAI.

During the survey, we observed that women farmers in Baghmara village were very active and enthusiastic in sharing information about their package of practices for wheat cultivation.

This clearly indicates that women are becoming the backbone of agriculture nowadays, as many male farmers are migrating from their hometowns for livelihood.

We sincerely thank KVK Dhanbad for their support and for providing necessary facilities during the survey. We also appreciate their effort in featuring our work in local newspapers.@@

We had demonstrated several renewable energy and biomass-based technologies such as improved chulha, solar light, gasifier, biochar kiln, briquetting machine, and wood cutter at the Agrotech Kisan Mela – 2026 organized at Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi (Jharkhand) from 14–16 March 2026.

Farmers and visitors showed keen interest in the improved chulha technology and actively interacted with us to learn about its benefits.

We are also happy to share that our stall received the 3rd prize for the theme-based pandal.

It was a great opportunity to interact with farmers and demonstrate sustainable energy technologies .

Utilizing agricultural and biomass waste such as saw dust, wood dust, rice husk, gobar (cow dung), and other bio-waste has now become very easy with the CIAE Make Screw Press Type Briquetting Machine.

By using this machine, farmers and entrepreneurs can convert waste materials into valuable briquettes in large quantities. This not only helps in reducing agricultural waste but also creates an additional source of income.

The process of briquette making is simple and efficient:

Collection of raw materials such as saw dust, wood dust, rice husk, gobar, etc.

Mixing the raw materials in a definite proportion with a suitable binder (if required).

Feeding the mixed material into the hopper of the machine.

The material is compressed by a 3.7 HP motor-driven screw press to form briquettes.

The briquettes are then sun-dried.

After drying, the briquettes are ready to be used as fuel or sold in the market.

This technology is a sustainable solution for waste management and income generation. It supports clean energy production while promoting environmental protection.
