        abstract = {The aim of the project is to produce bio-electricity from living plants. The microbes present in the soil help to produce bioelectricity. Copper and zinc are used as the cathode and anode. This project mainly focuses on green, clean and sustainable energy production. It also encourages the energy security of our country. The main objective is to create a green and eco-friendly power source which should be available at all times. The electricity is generated from the ideal and left out microbes in rhizosphere layer of the soil. The plant prepares its own food by the photosynthesis process and stores its excess and left over energy in its rhizosphere layer. The source for this electricity is utilized from the rhizosphere region. This eco-innovative product aims at significant and demonstrable progress towards the goal of sustainable development through reducing impacts on the environment. The photosynthetic process helps plants to create their own food, which is then stored in their rhizosphere layer. The rhizosphere region serves as the source of this power. The cells were connected in series and parallel for 6 days and were observed. The series connection is said to provide high power output, and it is comparatively more efficient than the parallel connection. This environmentally friendly product attempts to prove energy at all times.},
