What makes your idea unique?

The village laborers are involving their most of their time in fighting with each other, communal clashes, sex addiction, drug addiction, used by Political meeting(by giving some amount and one day meals). They are practiced to avail all the benefits on FREE. Hence, they are not ready to do hard work and wanted to earn much profit on a short period. Due to this they are using unwanted chemical manures to spoil the health of humans. The practice of wasting the time by seeing the TV serials, chat with another, etc. will be reduced. They practice to get some self awareness while doing any work on group. Sharing their views on various matters will lead to healthy environment.

Do you have a patent for this idea?

This Entry is about (Issues)

What impact have you had?

Every person should allot some space or at least plant in mud pots will give strenth to the family members. They can get the fresh vegetables or greens from their kitchen garden itself. Or they can use their neighbour houses for this purpose. In which, the relationship will be developed. The waste water, vegetable wastes are putting as manures for the small plants. Communual violence, idleness, etc. will be reduced. By this formation of Kitchen garden Group, the real economically backward people will benefitted. Helping, compassion, Our future generation (our children) should know the real culture and helping tendency, compassion on fellow humans and the fruit of the Spirit such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Problem

The strength is fresh vegetables. The weakness is regular quantity will not get from kitchen garden(for such option, we can use the fresh veg market). Threat will be coming from big farmers or villagers. Opportunity will be increasing as well as the health of the family members will develop. I am expecting a bright future generation if we use this Kitchen Garden Group.

Actions

The kitchen garden techniq to be adopted as hobby. Physical work may increase health and the concentration on work will give them mental health. This work to be undertaken at least everyday 30 mimutes. In which, the family will get weekly 3 to 4 days or even everyday vegetables.

Results

Self Help Group may be arranged and around 10 to 15 ladies will assemble in a house, where sufficient place is available for planting such kitchen garden veg & greens. The income and expenses may be shared among them. This unity will give them psychological strenth.

What will it take for your project to be successful over the next three years? Please address each year separately, if possible.

The idel time will be reduced and the practice of FREE to be vanished from the minds of the housewives and idle gents. Regular plantation and understanding will be developed among one another without seeing any caste, creed and colour.

What would prevent your project from being a success?

I believe the most of the village labours are practiced idleness, hence they sit and drink tea shops and arrack(tasmark) shops. Hence, the crimes are increasing. They might be the prevented this and this can be tackled by their wife's and family members. Even drunkards are reducing.
