Waste management is becoming a major issue for communities worldwide. Burning agricultural waste is one of the major causes of pollution in India. Burning agricultural waste is one of the major causes of pollution in India. Thus, to meet the ever-increasing demand of building materials, new sustainable materials are needed. The potential application of agro-waste', like Rice stems, wheat steam, as the ingredient for alternative sustainable construction materials in the form of bricks. In this paper study of compressive strength and crushing strength weight of bricks is done by adding rice stems into the bricks of size 230mm*110mm*70mm* were manufactured .The bricks samples were tested at 7 , 14 and21 days. This demonstrates that bricks containing rice stem to exhibits compressive strength 54% of regular fly ash bricks, Weight of bio bricks is lesser than fly ash bricks ,water absorption is also more than fly ash bricks.
