The Livestock sector of Trongsa Dzongkhag coordinated and initiated the establishment of Bio-gas plants in Drakten and Langthil geogs, the first of its kind in the Dzongkhag. It involved both the beneficiaries and sector employees as part of a capacity building programme which served as a platform for the sector staff to learn the fundamentals of biogas plant construction and operation through practical engagement. Two teams were formed, one for each geog comprising proportionate mixture of skills and man force. The programme was carried out under the sector budget funded by the Mangdechhu Hydroelectric Project Authority (MHPA).
