వట్టివేర్ల సాగుతో లాభాలు ఆర్జిస్తున్న మహిళ

ETVBHARAT

Eluru Woman in Vetiver Cultivation :  బుర్రకు పదును పెట్టాలే కానీ ఆలోచనలకు కొదవుండదు. వాటిని ఆచరణలో పెడితే ఆదాయానికి ఢోకా ఉండదు. సరిగ్గా ఇదే సూత్రాన్ని అనుసరిస్తున్నారు ఏలూరుకు చెందిన ఓ మహిళ. ఇంటి పనులు పూర్తయ్యాక ఖాళీ సమయాన్ని టీవీ చూస్తూనో, ఇరుగుపొరుగుతోనో పిచ్చాపాటీ కబుర్లతోనే వృథా చేయకుండా ఆ టైమ్​ని ఆదాయ వనరుగా మార్చుకుంటున్నారు. వినూత్న రీతిలో వట్టివేర్లు సాగు చేస్తూ రైతులకు తాను ఏమాత్రం తీసిపోనని నిరూపిస్తున్నారు.

00:00This woman's name is Korala Valli. Her husband, who was born in Eluru, passed away some time ago.

00:10The children were employed.

00:12She had nothing to do with being alone at home.

00:15She used to watch TV with her husband.

00:17What will happen if you waste time?

00:19She had the idea of spending that time on something and increasing her income.

00:25She wanted to do something to reduce her thoughts.

00:29She searched in the internet and found out about Vattiveerla, which is a big business in Coimbatore.

00:35She went there and discussed about Vattiveerla Saagu, its benefits and marketing strategies.

00:42She came back to Eluru and started Vattiveerla Saagu.

00:59She had to think, but it was not difficult to make the impossible possible.

01:09She bought a small plot of land on the terrace of her house to grow Vattiveerla.

01:15First, they put pipes in a plastic bucket and fill it with coconut peels and vermicompost.

01:21Then, they pour water from the top of the pipe and plant Vattiveerla.

01:26Since Vattiveerla Saagu started in 100 pipes,

01:31they are getting all the necessary help from Eco Green Corporation in Coimbatore.

01:36The climate is not good for this plant,

01:40so it is enough to water it 2 to 3 times a week.

01:43They say that you can earn more than a lakh by cutting the plants twice a year.

01:51They give us materials.

01:53We collect the material and plant it on the terrace of our house.

01:59After 7 months, we take it out of the pot and give it to the farmer.

02:07He will set it up and send us the money.

02:10I do this in my free time.

02:13Along with the household chores,

02:15we buy banana fiber from the market and export it.

02:22The secondary income is Rs. 50,000 for 7 months.

02:27We buy the land for investment purposes.

02:31If we plant Vattiveerla Saagu,

02:34we can earn money by growing it in a plastic bucket.

02:39When the land price increases, we can sell it.

02:42This is a cosmetic plant.

02:44Mainly, the roots are used to make a number of cosmetic products.

02:47Soap, shampoo and medicinal value added products have been done in Vettiveru.

02:52This is a very simple and low maintenance innovative project

02:58where farmers, women, rural women, folk as well as urban sectors in terrace gardening,

03:04anybody can do this project.

03:06It is less water, less maintenance and more yield.

03:28There is no need to grow it continuously.

03:31Once we plant it, we just need to water it for 2 days a week.

03:37In 7 months, we get the crop.

03:40The first investment is Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 50,000.

03:45If we spend Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 45,000 on the pipes and seeding,

03:50we will get Rs. 50,000 every 7 months.

03:55There is no better project than this.

03:57There is no need to invest a lot.

03:59We can plant it on the terrace.

04:01We can plant it in the kitchen.
