  A scenario of an emergent universe is constructed in the background of an
inhomogeneous space-time model which is asymptotically (at spatial infinity)
FRW space-time. The cosmic substratum consists of non-interacting two
components, namely {\bf a)} homogeneous and isotropic fluid but dissipative in
nature and {\bf b)} an inhomogeneous and anisotropic barotropic fluid. In
non-equilibrium thermodynamic prescription (second order deviations), particle
creation mechanism is considered the cause for the dissipative phenomena. It is
found that for constant value of the particle creation rate parameter there
exists a scenario of emergent universe.
