Sukhet Model

In news
The Sukhet model is an initiative by the Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University (RPAU) at Pusa in Samastipur district and the brainchild of Vice-Chancellor Ramesh Chandra Srivastava, a vermicompost enthusiast.

Details
  • Under the Sukhet model, two local workers visit households that have cattle to collect cow dung and farmyard waste and bring it to a vermicomposting yard.
  • Any family which gives us 1,200 kgs of cow dung and wet garbage waste every two months gets their LPG gas cylinders refilled for free.
  • Everyday, they have to meet the target of 20 kg of cow dung and garbage waste to avail the refill.
  • The target is to take this model to 100 households of the village in first phase.
Issue

The only problem is that only those households who have cattle to give us cow dung are able to benefit from the Sukhet model.
