Stubble burning: Gorakhpur man develops a cost-effective solutionedit
Grass root level scientist of Gorakhpur, Ganga Ram Chauhan, who was awarded by the Yogi government in 2018 for an invention, has found a cost effective solution to stubble burning. Ganga Ram Chauhan (50) has invented a bicycle-based shredder machine which can crush/grind elements including wood, leaves and crop remains in particles of less than 80 mm size. These particles can then be easily converted into compost. The machine costs only around Rs 5000-6000.
