India has a long history of biogas production. One of our oldest biogas plants was set up in the late 1850s. Find out about the Biogas Program initiated by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India.
India’s Biogas Program, launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, promotes the use of biodegradable waste like cow dung for producing biogas. These plants reduce pollution, generate clean energy and produce organic manure. Especially useful in rural areas, the program helps manage wasteRead more

(i) In flask A, yeast ferments the sugar, releasing carbon dioxide. (ii) In test tube B, gas bubbles appear, showing the presence of CO₂. (iii) Without yeast in flask A, fermentation doesn’t happen, so no gas is released and the test tube B remains unchanged. This experiment demonstrates that yeastRead more

To study mushroom parts, collect a mature mushroom and observe its external parts—cap, stalk and gills—using a magnifying glass. With a foldscope or microscope, examine spores and cell structures on the gills. Seniors or teachers can guide you. This study helps understand fungi’s reproductive partsRead more
