jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission given off from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from and it periodically used as property separation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the very cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process hence it creates job for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
