Q.3 Read the following passage and make notes on it and also give a suitable title to it.
Biogas is a mixture of met carbon dioxide, hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide, the major constituent being methane. Biogas is produced by anaerobic degradation of animal wastes (sometimes plant wastes) in the presence of water. Anaerobic degradation means break-down of organic matter by bacteria in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is a non- polluting, clean and low-cost fuel which is very useful for rural areas where a lot of animal waste and agricultural waste are available. India has the largest cattle population in the world (240 million) and has tremendous potential for biogas production. From cattle dung alone, we can produce biogas of a magnitude of 22,500 mm 3 annually. Air-tight digestion/degradation of animal waste is safe as it eliminates health hazards which normally occur in case of direct use of dung due to direct exposure to faecal pathogens and parasites.

The importance of forests for human life is very high. From the beginning to the end of our lives, every movement we make goes through the jungle. From birth till death we live in the middle of the forest.
The forest is only wood. In childhood a child spends his childhood in a wooden swing. In old age the shelter is made of wood. That's why it can be said that we are dependent on the forest in every way.
