Vijayapura: Bandhan Raksha will be all about environmental conservation for some siblings.
Vijayalaxmi Sarvottam Deshpande Edication and Social Welfare Society (VSDESSWS), which runs a daily care center for children who are physically disabled, has prepared a randin made of cow dung and tulsi.
Tulanized plant seeds, which provide maximum oxygen amount and even purify the environment, placed inside Rakhi.
Before Rakhi was thrown, the seeds of Tulsi can be removed and planted.
Prashant Deshpande, Founder and CEO, Vsdesws, told TOI that 40 children with various defects, were protected at the rehabilitation center.
“Thirty of them came from a bad background.
When we came up with organic Rakin manufacturing proposals, 10 parents voluntarily prepared Rakhis based on daily wages.
They were given unemployment after the Kuncian.
Six children, who are above 16 years, also want to Join them, “he said.
And what is the idea of germination? Deshpande said he had observed how Rakhis was thrown after a festival every year.
“We are also guilty because we contribute to pollution by throwing a chemical plastic and rakin after its use.
We discuss this with Shivakumar Hali, a social worker in Kalaburagi District.
He mentioned how a trend began in Nagpur to make products from cow dung,” he said.
“Inspired by this, we thought of making Rakin out of cow dung.
About 200 Rakin was broken during the trial.
We put 8 to 10 tulcentions in each rakhi.
Balaga from Vijayapura, Beleagavavi and Bengaluru and other places show interest in this Rakhis, “he added.
Each Rakhi requires the cost of RS 15 -20 each Rakhi has a weight of about 5 grams.
“We have prepared around 2,000 rakhis with an investment of Rs 12,000 a month.
Each Rakhi costs around Rs 15 to 50.
We get RS 22,000 Returns.
We will spend advantage for the welfare of our children who need.
We got an order of around 5,000 Rakin.
It’s too late to accept orders, “he added.
Sunil Gowda, founder, Bharavase, Bengaluru, said that he bought 200 rakhis.
“We bind this Rakhis to the Covid Warriors in Bengaluru, Tumakuru, MySuru and Andhra Pradesh,” he added.
