        abstract = {It is acknowledged that energy is the key input for any nation's socio-economic development. Rapid industrialization and urbanization, as well as mechanized farming, have generated a high demand for energy in all forms, including thermal, mechanical, and electrical. To meet this increasing demand, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas have been overexploited in an unsustainable manner. The overexploitation of fossil fuels has been posing serious environmental problems, including global warming and climate change. While there is a shortage of energy and a dependence on imports in the case of petroleum, the country is fortunate to have an abundance of natural sources of energy, including solar, wind, biomass, and hydro. These sources are environmentally benign and non-depleting in nature, and are available in most parts of the country throughout the year. Biogas resources, such as cattle dung, agricultural wastes, and other organic wastes, have been one of the main energy sources for mankind since the dawn of civilization. There is a vast scope to convert this waste to energy sources like biogas. Biogas production is a clean, low-carbon technology for efficient management and conversion of organic wastes into clean, renewable biogas and organic manure/fertilizer. Biogas obtained by anaerobic digestion of cattle dung and other loose and leafy organic matters/bio degradable wastes can be used as an energy source for various applications, including cooking, heating, space cooling/refrigeration, electricity generation, and gaseous fuel for vehicular application.},
