Considering the wide range of benefits of organic farming, farmers of Chhattisgarh have started actively adopting the organic way of cultivation in their farms. Besides using the vermicompost-super compost made from cow dung in Gauthans, farmers are now using organic insecticide called 'Brahmastra' and crop growth enhancer 'Jeevamrut' in place of chemical pesticide. It is worth mentioning here that Chhattisgarh Government is promoting organic farming in the state. In view of the increasing cost of cultivation, shortage in supply of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the loss caused by the same, farmers of the state are becoming more and more inclined towards the organic farming. The easy availability of organic fertilizers and organic pesticides is also proving to be helpful in controlling the input cost of farming.
It is noteworthy that under Godhan Nyay Yojana, cow dung is being procured in Gauthans for Rs. 2/kg, and this cow dung is being utilized to produce organic fertilizers. Recently, procurement of Gaumutra has also been started, which being used by women self-help groups to produce organic pesticides. Gaumutra procurement in Gauthans started on Hareli festival this year i.e. July 28, 2022, and so 53231 liters of cow urine has been procured and an amount of more than Rs 2.13 lakh has been paid to sellers by the Gauthan committees. Insecticide 'Bramhastra' and growth booster 'Jeevamrut' are being prepared from Gaumutra (cow urine). Out of the 17784 liters of Brahmastra prepared from cow urine by women's groups till date, nearly 13,609 liters of Brahmastra have been purchased by farmers for Rs. 3.43 lakhs. Organic pesticides are being produced in gauthans using Gaumutra to ensure continuous supply of organic insecticides and growth boosters to farmers.
