Vermicompost is an eco-friendly method to reprocess organic wastes and to produce valuable compost through interaction between earthworm and microorganism. Earthworm consume organic waste and excrete it in digested form. This process reduces wastes in landfills and enriches the soil, improving its structure, aeration, and nutrient content than the rate of destruction achieved by other technologies. Here, earthworms of the species Eisenia fetida were introduced and the process was allowed to proceed for 62 days using Bin methods. Worms work indefatigability, eating up to half their body weight in scraps daily and converting it into compost, rich in Phosphorus, Nitrogen, and Potassium. During the experiments of composting process the different physico-chemical features such as temperature, moisture content, pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium were analysed. This research contributes to our understanding of vermicomposting as an effective waste management technique in Bongaigaon Polytechnic Institute, Assam. From the present study, it can be concluded that earthworm are potentially important that are capable of transforming wastes to value added product.
