The Jal Shakti Ministry launched a unified portal on the 'Gobardhan' scheme on 3rd Feb, 2021 developed by National Informatics Centre (NIC) & the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DDWS). The scheme aims to support villages in effectively managing their cattle and biodegradable waste. The Gobardhan scheme is expected to help enhance farmers' income by converting biodegradable waste into compressed biogas (CBG). This portal acts as a data repository for different activities of Gobardhan and enables monitoring progress of the Programme with real time tracking, ensuring transparency & social accountability of the scheme. The scheme is being pursued as a priority programme under the Swachh Bharat Mission Gramin-Phase 2 by the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation under the Jal Shakti Ministry. It was launched in 2018. Agriculture Minister Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, Animal Husbandry Minister Shri Giriraj Singh, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan and Shri Rattan Lal Kataria, Minister of State in the Jal Shakti Ministry were also present at the event.
