Survey and Utilisation of Agricultural and Industrial By-Products and Wastes

Abstract

The Committee on Natural Resources at its meeting held on 24th December, 1961, approved a study on utilisation of wastes and by-products of agriculture including forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and industrial wastes. The Committee felt that there were large quantities of such wastes which were at present used in an uneconomic manner or left completely unuitlised, e.g. husk, straw, corn cobs, non-edible vegetable oilseeds, inferior fibres, nutshells, feathers and bones, sea-weeds, etc.
