The Salem is a hilly surrounded District in Tamil Nadu State with a tropical climate and temperatures within 35 to 40°C (thus perfectly suited for biogas plant). Ramu owns a toilet linked biogas plant and the improvement of his family’s socio-economic circumstances has had an enormous impact on local thinking. Now the local inhabitants of that area realise the importance of hygiene and the ecological and environmental values, and the demand for toilet-linked biogas plants is increasing steeply.
