Question

Describe ‘LPG’ and ‘Gobar Gas’ as strategies used to achieve sustainable development in rural areas.

Hint:

Cleaner fuels like LPG and biogas reduce deforestation and pollution, promoting sustainability in villages.

Answer 1

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas): Encouraging the use of LPG in rural areas reduces dependence on firewood, preserving forests and improving rural health by reducing indoor pollution.
Gobar Gas (Biogas): Use of biogas plants using animal and organic waste provides a clean, renewable source of energy for cooking and lighting in villages. It also produces organic manure, supporting sustainable agriculture.
