The foundation of a country’s sustainable economic development rests on the availability of an ample supply of electrical energy. To remain competitive on the global stage, India must ensure the provision of sufficient electricity infrastructure to fuel its economic progress. Achieving developed nation status necessitates extending electricity access to every corner of the country. India, being primarily an agrarian nation, possesses abundant agricultural waste resources. This wealth of agricultural waste presents a valuable opportunity for electricity generation. Notably, agricultural husk emerges as a promising raw material for electricity generation, provided it undergoes proper and systematic processing. This endeavor aims to introduce the concept of electricity generation from agricultural husk, with a particular focus on rural areas in India. Agricultural husk-based small and medium power plants offer a pragmatic solution for generating and distributing electricity to underserved rural communities. Within this paper, we delve into the availability of agricultural husk resources in India, explore various feasibility studies, and elucidate the principal processes for generating electricity from rice husk. The overarching goal is to support India’s journey towards future development. This paper serves as a valuable resource for both governmental and private sector entities interested in establishing agricultural husk-based power plants in rural India. Ultimately, we aspire for this document to serve as a practical guideline for addressing the substantial electricity demand prevalent in India’s rural areas.
