Chhattisgarh has yet managed the crisis by the grace of mahtari (motherland) and cows and we launched ‘Godhan Nyay Yojana, with the help of which, we produced 12 lakh quintals of vermicompost from the cow dung. Hence, we met the requirement without any dearth of DAP fertilizer for agricultural production as state can use the compost made of dung.
CHIRAAG project will be implemented in 14 districts of state, our main objective will focus on ensuring income generating avenues for farmers in tribal belt and introduce advanced and technical agricultural ideas based on climatic conditions of the place, to add value to agricultural product for better gains, provide nutritious food and intelligent utilization and management of natural resources.
