Raipur, 4 July 2020. If you want to understand why cow dung along with cow is also called money, it can be understood by going to the Gothanas of Suraji Yojana. Women self-help groups have shown the vision of Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel to strengthen rural development and economy. By connecting with the ground, women are flying in the open sky of self-reliance. Women have once again established the usefulness of cow dung with their hard work. You will be surprised to know that women groups have started receiving income of lakhs of rupees from cow dung.
Vermi compost fertilizer is being made by women groups in Gothan of all the districts of Chhattisgarh state. In the 74 Gouthans built under the Suraji village scheme in Korba district, the same number of women self-help groups have prepared 1 thousand 115 quintal vermi compost manure with their hard work and hard work, which is worth about Rs 11 lakh. High quality vermicompost manure has started selling hands-on. Till now, women groups have sold 915 quintals of fertilizer and have earned an income of about Rs 9 lakh. The manure worth Rs 02 lakh is currently ready for sale.
The greenery of Satarenga, the main tourist destination of Chhattisgarh, is thanks to the variety of flowers blooming and the greenery of composted compost of grass sheets lying around, which has been prepared by the women self-help groups in the villages. The horticulture department has used 60 quintal compost compost in this garden to nourish the flowering plants in Satrenga. The department has paid its price directly to women groups at the rate of 9 rupees 60 paise per kg. Apart from horticulture department, there is a great demand for compost fertilizer in other government departments like agriculture, forest, silk etc. Considering the quality of manure, it has also become popular among common farmers. Its quality has been certified by the certification body. After hand-in-hand sales of the previous production, the groups have once again started filling the vacant vermis beds. Soon they will have about 400 quintals and compost ready.
Kantidevi Kanwar, a member of the Harekrishna self-help group that runs the Gothan in Pondiupraoda development block Mahora village, says that we make compost from waste and dung. Its cost is negligible. If it is selling for ten rupees, what else could be better than this. Dung money is also available and waste is also cleaned. Our manure farmers prefer because its quality is good and their fields are improving.
