        abstract = {The hold of traditional soil stabilization method on the soil is now a crucial concern for all the researchers. While taking into consideration the sustainability -there have been ample number of options for stabilization of soils. However, all the sustainable materials are not scrutinized as eco-friendly and delivers a negative effect on the soil. To control these ill effects, bio products are acquainted into the soil which has an encouraging future in the field of sustainable soil geotechnics. The use of bio-polymers for stabilizing pavement subgrades has gained increasing attention in recent years due to their eco-friendliness and effectiveness in improving subgrade strength and stability. An overview of the idea of stabilizing the pavement subgrades using bio-polymers is presented in this research work, the centre of attraction is biopolymer, an eco-friendly material which is extracted from sources like plants, animals and microorganisms. There are variety of materials which are extracted from the living world, a very few of them are commonly used in the field of soil engineering. Though biopolymers, such as Xanthan gum, guar gum and corn starch were used & have shown immense increase in the strength of soil when added in different proportions. In contrast to traditional material with biopolymer, a very small amount is required to achieve the comparable strength. Biopolymer have itself shown beyond doubt to be versatile in the strength property but was found to be lacking behind when put forward with water. Biopolymers for stabilization are fit for cohesive and non-cohesive soils with elevated strength, which makes it ideal in place of traditional technique.},
