Women in Khairagarh earned a profit of 2 lakh 50 thousand by selling manure

Raipur. The Chhattisgarh Government’s ambitious Godhan NYAY Yojana is proving to be a crucial scheme by ushering in economic empowerment for women. The scheme’s successful implementation enables villagers to earn financial profits in their homes. However, the Godhan NYAY Yojana is proving to be particularly useful for women. Gauthans have positively impacted the rural economy, and women associated with self-help groups are walking on the path of economic empowerment.
 
The women belonging to the Siddhi Self-help Group from Patharra village under the Chhuikhadan development block in the Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai district have become economically self-reliant. They have earned profits from the purchase of cow dung and the manufacture of Vermicompost. So far, the members of the group have manufactured about 643 quintals of Vermicompost and about 65 quintals of super compost. They have earned a profit of Rs. 2 lakh 50 thousand with the sale of 67 thousand 560 kg of manure.
 
The women of the group are also engaged in poultry farming in RIPA (Mahatma Gandhi Rural Industrial Park). They are using the earned income for farming and other domestic work. Encouraged by the earnings made by women through poultry farming, other local women are also discovering better livelihood opportunities.
