The First Gobar Gas Research Station of Asia situated at Ajitmal.
In the '90s, The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav opened it for research and fertilizer issue.
The Gobar (Hindi for "cow dung") Gas Research Station—established in 1960 as the latest of a long series of Indian experimental projects dating back to the 1930s—has concentrated its efforts, as the name suggests, on generating methane gas from cow manure. At the station, Ram Bux Singh and his co-workers have designed and put into operation bio-gas plants ranging in output from 100 to 9,000 cubic feet of methane a day. They've installed heating coils, mechanical agitators and filters in some of the generators and experimented with different mixes of manure and vegetable wastes. Results of the project have been meticulously documented and recorded.[3]
