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 టైమ్ని 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.
03:10Once in 6 months, they can get some income.
03:13Many people who have seen the women's innovative ideas
03:16are showing interest in Vettiveerla Saagu
03:19as it is easy to grow and has a good income.
03:22They are trying to follow the women's innovative Saagu
03:25and do the same.
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.
04:03We can plant it in the fields.
04:05Since Vettiveerla Saagu was started for the first time in Eluru,
04:09they are showing that if interested women come forward,
04:12they can learn about the Saagu method
04:14and get income without wasting time.
