Team Somalwar School Maa Umiya (CBSE)Branch conducts survey on Green Fuel

GREEN Fuel, also known as biofuel, is a type of fuel distilled from plants and animal matter innovated in the desperate search for alternative energy sources. Green Fuel has evolved as a p o s s i b l e fuelling option as the world drains its fossil fuel resources. A w a r e n e s s amongst the common man about the Green Fuel is not qualitatively satisfactory. The decision to shift to the usage of Green Fuel is appreciated by majority but much research, development and marketing need to be done. This conclusion was drawn by two students-- Samiksha Milmile and Kshitij Bokade of Standard IX of Somalwar School, Maa Umiya CBSE branch, during their study of Green Fuel. The IndianWomen Scientist Association (Nagpur Chapter) organised a research survey study to be carried out by stud e n t s .

Kshitij Bokade observed that people in India did not know about green fuel in depth. According to him emphasis should be given on knowing more and create awareness about green fuel.
