He continued that in collaboration with IIT Guwahati, a leak proof pre-fabricated plastic was introduced.

Praveen further revealed that the materials are easily transportable and thus, around 150 plants would be installed, with 45 per cent of the expense of the total unit to be funded by the Ministry.

Another 30 per cent of the share will be subsidised by the state government, while the rest is to be borne by the beneficiaries.

Stating that most of the contents taught in the workshop were application based, he informed that IIT Guwahati and the installing officers of the firms concerned will share relevant information on the matter.

In all, 100 beneficiaries attended the workshop.
