Let " Seva - Tirth " help Delhi-ites Breathe

 Respected Prime Minister,

Every winter, Delhi’s air quality crisis is attributed largely to stubble burning in

 Punjab and Haryana.

However, as demonstrated in my earlier communications (2017–2022) and recent

 innovations such as biochar conversion technologies, the issue today is not

availability of solutions, but political will and structured implementation.

If the Government of India chooses to act decisively, multiple technology-backed

 pathways already exist.

Below is a brief summary of implementable options:

---

1️⃣ Biochar Conversion Units (Decentralized Pyrolysis Model)

Technology: Small-scale pyrolysis units converting crop residue into biochar.

Example: Models similar to those pioneered by innovators like Vidyut Mohan.

Estimated Cost

• ₹12–20 lakh per mobile unit

• Can serve 400–600 acres per season

Farmer Benefit

• Additional income: ₹3,000–6,000 per acre

• Biochar improves soil fertility and water retention

• Potential carbon credit monetization

Pollution Impact

• Eliminates open-field burning

• Reduces PM2.5 formation significantly

• Long-term carbon sequestration

---

2️⃣ Biomass-to-Power Plants (Cluster Model)

Technology: Aggregation of stubble → combustion/gasification → electricity

                     generation.

Estimated Cost

• 10 MW plant: ₹60–80 crore

• Serves ~50,000 acres

Farmer Benefit

• ₹1,500–2,000 per tonne residue purchase

• Assured procurement model

National Benefit

• Clean energy generation

• Reduced coal dependence

• Job creation in rural logistics

---

3️⃣ Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) Plants under SATAT Scheme

Technology: Anaerobic digestion of crop residue into bio-CNG.

Estimated Cost

• 5 TPD plant: ₹15–25 crore

Farmer Benefit

• Residue purchase + slurry return as fertilizer

• Stable offtake via Oil Marketing Companies

Pollution Impact

• Avoids burning

• Produces clean transport fuel

---

4️⃣ Subsidized In-Situ Solutions (Happy Seeder / Super SMS)

Estimated Cost

• ₹1.5–2 lakh per machine (after subsidy)

Farmer Benefit

• Avoids burning cost

• Preserves soil nutrients

Limitation

• Works best with strong monitoring & incentive enforcement

---

💰 Comparative Cost Perspective

Delhi pollution annually causes:

• Thousands of premature deaths

• Billions in healthcare burden

• Productivity loss

• Reputational damage to India’s capital

The total cost of deploying decentralized biochar + CBG + biomass plants across Punjab & Haryana would be far lower than recurring public health losses.

📊 Policy Suggestion: National Crop Residue Mission

I respectfully propose:

1. Formation of a National Crop Residue Monetization Authority (NCRMA)

2. Direct income support tied to non-burning compliance

3. Carbon credit marketplace integration

4. Mandated residue procurement by power & gas companies

5. Real-time satellite monitoring + farmer incentive dashboard

---

🔔 Core Message

The narrative must shift from:

“Farmers are causing pollution”

to

“Farmers are sitting on a renewable resource waiting to be monetized.”

The technology exists.

The economics are viable.

The environmental urgency is undeniable.

Only coordinated political will is required.

I would be happy to provide a structured policy framework if desired.

With regards,

Hemen Parekh
