[See Toolkit 2.6, 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and Toolkit Annex J] Report of the Stake holder consultation meeting, organised on 15 th September 2011at Rangamandira, Bidar The meeting was started at 4 pm. Mr. SK Umesh, Director SKG Sangha welcomed all the participants. Mr. Rajendra Jonnekere, Accounts Officer, Zilla Panchayath, Bidar acted as event organiser and invited guests on to the dais. The president of the Bidar Zilla Panchayath, Mr. Kushal Patil inaugurated the meeting by lighting a lamp. In his inaugural address Mr. Kushan Patil said “Biogas unit is not only economical but also eco-friendly, scarcity of fuel and increasing cost of energy forcing us to biogas again, biogas saves forests, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, provides smoke free clean cooking and lighting; and Zilla Panchayath provides all assistance for this kind of eco-friendly projects”. Mr. Jithendra Nayak, Chief Executive Officer while explaining the existing government sponsored biogas programme (Jaivanila Yojane) stated that there is only 50 plants target for the district and the achievement is very little to 4 & 17 plants in the last two years. As a renewable energy project it reduces the dependence on electricity and fossil fuels he said. The regional manager of the Gold Standard Foundation, Mrs. Neha Rao said that the GS is striving hard to encourage sustainable rural development projects. Mr. Vidya Sagar Devabhaktuni, President SKG Sangha, presented the project. While explaining the project he said that the ever increasing cost of the biogas plant becomes an un-attainable dream to the rural poor. The cost increase and lesser number of subsidy targets forced SKG Sangha to look for other alternatives to finance the units. Clean Development Mechanism is one among them. The project is aiming to limit the burden of 20% unit cost on the beneficiary in the form of locally available material and physical labour. It is trying hard to get the remaining cost from carbon markets and Govt. of India in the form of subsidy. In the question and answer session the attendees participated very actively.
