In the Union Budget 2023-24, the Government of India has decided to establish 500 new waste-to-wealth plants under the _____________ scheme.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Gobardhan.
The Gobardhan (Galvanizing Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan) scheme was launched by the Government of India to support the generation of wealth from organic waste resources. The initiative specifically aims at managing and converting cattle dung and other organic waste into biogas and bio-fertilizers. This scheme not only promotes a clean and green environment but also helps in increasing the income of rural households.
In the Union Budget 2023-24, it was emphasized that under the Gobardhan scheme, 500 new waste-to-wealth plants would be established. This move is part of a broader effort to strengthen the waste management infrastructure in the country and to promote sustainable and eco-friendly waste to energy practices. These plants are expected to contribute significantly to the rural economy and assist in achieving goals related to clean energy and sanitation.
