ABOUT PROJECT
Conventionally fire wood, electricity or LPG gas is used for cremation purpose, cooking food,
industrial boiler, brick kilns factory etc. Indian people mostly prefer traditional product for
cremation e.g. wooden logs and dried cow dung logs. Compared to fire wood and other
alternatives, cremation using cow dung logs cost less, further in industrial boiler or brick kilns
factory if cow dung logs are used then its cost will be less. Almost 400kg of wood is required for
every single one of its seven million cremations, which caused deforestation resulting in global
warming, damages the environment and also produces more smoke. This has lead to the increased
demand of cow dung logs but due to difficulty in manufacturing long logs, availability remains a
problem. This opportunity inspired Mr. Sanjay Pokhriyal to setting up a manufacturing unit that
makes long cow-dung logs with minimum human intervention. For Setting up this manufacturing
unit Mr. Sanjay Pokhriyal needs three machine .
a) Mixture Machine
b) Cow Dung Dewatering Machine
c) Cow Dung Bio Fuel Machine
Blend of dung and straw (or any agro waste/harvested crop residues) is fed into the hopper of the
machine. The machine has been provided with Screw mechanism, which helps in mixing raw
materials thoroughly, compress them and extrude them out. By using different size of die, logs of
different shapes and sizes can be made easily. Produced logs are then put under the sunlight to dry
out the moisture inside them, making them hard and sturdy.
Wood /Logs made from cow dung are very beneficial as it is environment friendly. This wood will
be used for Havan, Yagya-Pooja text, rituals etc.
The employment opportunities will also be open to the youth. Along with this, a good income can
be earned by making other products made from cow dung such as sculptures, face packs and
medicines.

USES OF MACHINE
Mixture Machine: Used for mixing and grinding of cow dung into required form.
Cow Dung Dewatering Machine: Cow dung dewatering machine is mainly used for
removing extra water from fresh manure. Generally speaking, the water content of fresh
manure usually is 80% to 90%, which increases the difficulty of management.
With the help of manure dewatering plant, you can reduce the water content of fresh
manure to 25%-40%. After dewatering, it is more convenient for you to make organic
fertilizer from cow dung and direct transportation.

ABOUT OWNER
Mr. Sanjay Pokhriyal is the resident of Rusa Farm, Gumaniwala, Shyampur District Dehradun-
249204 and want to setting up a manufacturing unit for Cow Dung Logs at C/o Maa Shakuntala
Gau Sewa Dharmarth Trust Near Rajkya Inter College, Khadri Khadak Maf, Shyampur, Rishikesh,
District Dehradun, Uttarakhand-249204. Proposed project is purchase of three machines use for
manufacturing of cow dung logs . Approximate Cost of the project will be Rs 3.90 Lakhs (Approx)
which will include buying cost of three machines, transportation cost, GST and other misc. charges
etc. Project requires fund from Bank in form of term loan amounting to Rs. 3.10 Lakhs and rest of
the amount will be contribute by the Owner himself.
2) AIM
The aim of this project is to unfold various aspects i.e. to eliminate or to minimize excessive
cutting of trees, giving employment to large number of peoples after its successful implementation.
This project also help in good decision making both in establishment and production by an
extensive market survey. The plan will not only ensure proper utilization of cow dung . but also
help reduce cutting of trees for fuel on the one hand and cut back on pollution caused by burning
wood.

6) PROCESS/STEPS
Owner of this project already asked for Quotation/ purchase order from different types of
supplier of the machines and stuck at selected supplier located at Patiala and in Rishikesh
which ultimately ready to sale the above mentioned machines at a total cost of Rs. 3.10 lakhs,
the above supplier quote the price which is very competitive with the market.
a) Mixture Machine: Cost of Rs.82,600/- including GST and excluding transportation.
b) Cow Dung Dewatering Machine: Cost of Rs.1,77,000/- including GST and excluding
transportation.
c) Cow Dung Bio Fuel Machine: Cost of Rs.50,400/- including GST and excluding
transportation.
B. Feasibility Study
a) Market Analysis
75% of India’s deceased are cremated, the second highest rate in the world – just
behind Nepal.
Traditional wood cremation uses about 400-500 kg of wood in one burning and cities
like Delhi, where 80,000 wood cremations occur every year, this would require over
3.6 crore kg wood — equivalent to burning about 4 lakh trees, and that’s just in one
city.

With cremations being an inherent part of many cultures, owner of the project comes
with an eco-friendly technique that offers a solution to counter air and water pollution
as well as waste management. The machine first creates these logs by feeding dried
cow dung to a log-making machine, where they are burnt under controlled temperature,
upwards of 50ºC. The controlled burning is claimed to be less polluting, and the usage
of alternative logs also leads to minimal pollution.
Cow dung logs could become feasible as they would not hinder religious beliefs, as
cow dung has been used in cremations since the early days.
Since the manufactured product can be used by industrial boiler , bricks kiln factories,
in cremation purpose So there is always good demand of product in nearby area. As the
product is available at very competitive rate in the market also a unique one. so it is
good decisions of the owner to start the above project.
Proprietor will contribute own fund with contribution of bank for purchase of machinery. Cost
of the project will Rs 3.90 Lakhs (Approx) out of which proprietor seeks Rs.3.10 Lakhs from
Bank as term loan to be repayable in 5 years.
After confirmation from Bank support, Proprietor will applied for GST registration which is a
primary requirement for sale of manufactured product out of uttarakhand.
After finalization of above steps employee hiring process will be started and hired by
proprietor with a facility of Home delivery of the product to end consumer.

The machine is capable of making one log of 1 KG each in per minute and 50 to 60 logs per
hour (3 x 3 inch, 3 feet long). The Price of the product will be lesser in comparative market
which goes to Rs.6 to Rs.7 per KG as per the profitability of the proprietor.
