Status of Bio Resource :

  The ratio of productivity and fuelwood  demand is computed to 
  get an  idea of  level of  bioresource  availability in Kolar.  
  The  availability  to  demand  ratio  ranges  from  0.33  (if 
  fuelwood  demand  is  taken as 2.5 kg/person/day) to 0.64 (if 
  fuelwood  demand  is  taken as  1.3 kg/person/day). The ratio 
  being  less  than one  indicates  that  there is bio resource 
  scarcity. Bioenergy planning builds an adequate data and also 
  supports  effective  policy making. Bioenergy planning 'works' 
  if it directs  resource allocation and leads to further sound 
  government interventions amongst other energy options.
