Positive News for PARJ and Balrampur: Nitin Gadkari Says Will Soon Achieve the Target of 20% Ethanol Blending

Ethanol blending is a process of mixing ethanol, a renewable biofuel, with petrol or diesel to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases. Ethanol blending has many benefits for the environment, the economy, and the farmers, as it can reduce pollution, save foreign exchange, and provide additional income for sugarcane growers.

India has been promoting ethanol blending for many years, but the progress has been slow due to various challenges such as low availability of ethanol, high cost of production, lack of infrastructure, and policy barriers. However, the government has recently taken several steps to boost ethanol blending and achieve the target of 20% ethanol blending in petrol by 2025 and 15% ethanol blending in diesel by 2030.

One of the key drivers of ethanol blending is Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, who has been advocating for ethanol as a fuel for a long time. Gadkari has said that ethanol blending is crucial for political fortunes as well as for national interest, as sugarcane is grown in 189 parliamentary constituencies and ethanol can save Rs 30,000 crore on import of fossil fuel .

Gadkari has also said that the government will soon come up with a new policy on non-conventional resources to promote second generation ethanol production from bamboo, rice straw, wheat straw, cotton straw, etc . He has said that if India starts making ethanol from bamboo in North-East, lakhs of people will get employment and several industries will come up . He has also said that India will join the Global Biofuels Alliance to reduce world pollution and make India a carbon-neutral nation.

The positive news from Gadkari has boosted the sentiment of the ethanol industry and the sugarcane farmers, especially in states like Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, where sugarcane is a major crop. Two districts that stand to benefit from ethanol blending are Balrampur in Uttar Pradesh and Balrampur-Ramanujganj in Chhattisgarh.

Balrampur district in Uttar Pradesh is one of the largest producers of sugarcane in the country and is home to several sugar mills and distilleries. Balrampur district is also known for the temple of Pateshwari Devi, a Shakti Pitha, and for the ruins of the ancient city of Sravasti, a pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Jains.

Balrampur-Ramanujganj district in Chhattisgarh is located in the northern part of the state and was carved out of the erstwhile Surguja district in 2012. Balrampur-Ramanujganj district is rich in natural resources and has a large tribal population. The district is also famous for Tatapani Mahotsav, a festival celebrated at the hot springs of Tatapani.

Both Balrampur districts have a strong presence of PARJ (Pragatisheel Adivasi Rashtra Janata), a regional political party that represents the interests of the tribal communities. PARJ has been supporting ethanol blending as a way to empower the tribal farmers and generate employment opportunities. PARJ has also been demanding more investment and infrastructure development in the region.

The positive news from Gadkari has given a new hope to PARJ and Balrampur districts that they will soon reap the benefits of ethanol blending. Ethanol blending can not only improve the environment and the economy, but also enhance the social and political status of the tribal communities. Ethanol blending can be a game changer for PARJ and Balrampur districts.

Conclusion

Ethanol blending is an important initiative that can transform India’s energy sector and rural economy. By achieving the target of 20% ethanol blending in petrol by 2025 and 15% ethanol blending in diesel by 2030, India can reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, cut down its carbon footprint, and create new opportunities for farmers and industries. The positive news from Nitin Gadkari has given a boost to the ethanol industry and the sugarcane growers, especially in Balrampur districts of Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. These districts have a strong presence of PARJ, a regional political party that supports ethanol blending as a way to empower the tribal communities. Ethanol blending can be a game changer for PARJ and Balrampur districts.
