The Government of India has envisaged a journey of doubling farmers’ income till 2022–2023 and envisioned many policy reforms for the same. Farmers in India rely on major farm produce and do not utilize the by-products or wastes emerging from their farms for monetary benefits. Sustainable utilization of agricultural, household and livestock waste have the potential in augmenting farmers’ income significantly which was established by conducting case studies in Ludhiana District of Punjab on three dairy farmers, each pursuing vermicomposting, biogas production and traditional composting. Comparative economic analysis in terms of various costs were worked out for vermicomposting, composting and biogas production. On analysis, it was found that the highest net returns per metric tonne of dung were obtained from vermicomposting (INR 2224.72, USD 29.42), followed by biogas production (INR 536.66, USD 7.10) and composting (INR 45.59, USD 0.60). Net returns from the dung obtained from one cattle equivalent were highest from vermicomposting (INR 11012.34, USD 145.64), followed by biogas production (INR 2656.74, USD 35.14) and composting (INR 225.68, USD 2.98). High profitability was accorded to vermicomposting because it is sold at remunerative prices. The study emphasizes the utilization of wastes through vermicomposting clubbed with biogas production for augmenting farmers’ income.

印度政府已经计划到2022年至2023年将农民的收入增加一倍，并为此进行了许多政策改革。印度的农民依靠主要农产品生产，不利用其农场产生的副产品或废物获取金钱利益。通过在旁遮普邦卢迪亚纳区对三名奶农进行案例研究，确立了农业，家庭和牲畜废物的可持续利用潜力，可以显着增加农民的收入，这三名奶农分别追求垃圾堆肥，沼气生产和传统堆肥。针对ver堆肥，堆肥和沼气生产，对各种成本进行了比较经济分析。经分析，发现每公吨粪便的最高净收益来自ver堆肥（2224.72印度卢比，29.42美元），其次是沼气生产（536.66印度卢比，7.10美元）和堆肥（45.59印度卢比，0.60美元）。从一头牛等同物获得的粪便的净收益最高的是com堆肥（11012.34印度卢比，145.64美元），其次是沼气生产（2656.74印度卢比，35.14美元）和堆肥（225.68印度卢比，2.98美元）。Vermicomposting具有很高的盈利能力，因为它以报酬性价格出售。这项研究强调通过ver堆肥和沼气生产来浪费废物，以增加农民的收入。Vermicomposting具有很高的盈利能力，因为它以报酬性价格出售。这项研究强调通过ver堆肥和沼气生产来浪费废物，以增加农民的收入。Vermicomposting具有很高的盈利能力，因为它以报酬性价格出售。这项研究强调通过ver堆肥和沼气生产来浪费废物，以增加农民的收入。
