Abstract

In 2003 Government of India envisioned Biofuel Policy to generate [un]skilled employment opportunities, address environmental issues, alternative for petroleum fuel and utilization of wasteland in rural areas. The biofuel programme took varied shape across India with focus on social, economic and political priorities of implementing states having varying focus like decentralized development, priority for local use of resources, allocation of wasteland and generating local employment. It was observed that existing policy guidelines, land allocation processes and fund allocation channels were not able to address the challenges came with the emergence of different institutional arrangements across different states of India. The mismatch to address the specific challenges for emerging institutions created fissure between state and its citizens, and potential withdrawal of private players.
