This association will entail visits by senior research scientists from PARC for survey of projects, advisory on how to move forward, plantation of new species and other technical matters.

Moreover, the agreement also would bring together joint efforts to evaluate feasibility and sustainability of installing domestic biogas units modeled on utilization of animal waste as fuel and fertilizer and they will also provide monitoring and surveillance services for the implemented plans.

For this project, Thar foundation has provided 20 acres of land for the execution of a pilot project along with the required resources i.e. water and seeds procurement/saplings.
