    The Rural Immersion Project, "Dung to Dollar," focuses on transforming cow dung into biogas and organic slurry as a sustainable agricultural solution. This project aims to benefit local livelihoods by providing an alternative fuel source, improving soil quality, and creating income opportunities for village residents. The study was conducted in Saat Ordi Village, where villagers rely primarily on agriculture and livestock. Observations and interviews with households, Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and village leaders provide insights into community dynamics, resource management, and the challenges of implementing sustainable practices. The project’s findings underscore the need for focused interventions in the areas of sustainable agriculture, income diversification, and gender empowerment. By promoting environmentally friendly practices like biogas and organic slurry usage, Saat Ordi can reduce its reliance on conventional fuels and chemical fertilizers, contributing to both environmental sustainability and improved community health. Additionally, training programs for women in Self-Help Groups (SHGs) present an opportunity for economic empowerment, fostering a more inclusive local economy.
