The correct answer is: A. Sirsa
The first bio-gas plant in Haryana was set up in Sirsa district in 1982. It was a joint venture between the Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC) and the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). The plant was set up to produce biogas from cow dung and other agricultural waste. The biogas was used to generate electricity and to provide cooking fuel to the farmers in the area.
The plant was a success and it helped to improve the quality of life of the farmers in the area. It also helped to reduce the pollution caused by the burning of cow dung. The plant has been replicated in other parts of Haryana and it has helped to promote the use of biogas as a renewable energy source.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Sonipat is a city in Haryana. It is not the location of the first bio-gas plant in Haryana.
- Panipat is a city in Haryana. It is not the location of the first bio-gas plant in Haryana.
- Hisar is a city in Haryana. It is not the location of the first bio-gas plant in Haryana.
