    From Home, We Grow Our Own

    By investing a modest sum, villagers can establish and expand home-based enterprises, from crafting to livestock, fostering local economic growth and self-sufficiency.

    From Home, We Grow Our Own
    In our village, we've learned that even a small amount of support can blossom into a new beginning for our families. If we can get around ₹20,000, we have plans to turn it into something meaningful right from our homes. We can make incense sticks, sell them, and even open our own small shop. This isn't just about money; it's about building a life and a future for our children. Why sell raw materials when we can use our hands and our heritage to create something more? With that same capital, we could weave beautiful carpets and take them to the market. Or we could invest in raising livestock like sheep, cows, and buffaloes, which not only supports our family but also strengthens our village. These are simple, everyday ways we find to develop ourselves and keep our traditions alive.

    The recipe

    Utilize small capital to initiate or expand home-based businesses and livestock rearing.

    In the context of 'Mixed India', there is no slogan in our village. There is traffic congestion and the road is not constructed. If it gets done, it will be good. The village will develop and a school should be built.

    To achieve a developed India, our villages must first be developed, where facilities like toilets, housing, and all pensions, including widow pension, are operational.

    🌱

    In our village area, first of all, there should be a school for children's education, and roads and drains should ensure that water does not accumulate during the rainy season, and a hospital should be built.

    🌱

    We have not received housing and toilets in our village area, and we should get paved roads. This will lead to the development of our village.

    Nowadays, the current situation is that various kinds of bad songs are prevalent. Therefore, one should sing their old traditional songs, as if fighting evil.

    🏫

    For a developed India, the main GT Road has been the primary access route in our village, and for the sake of improving education, a high-quality school and drainage.

    In Fache's village, toilets, housing, and children's sports are significant concerns. There is no field, and toilets should be constructed.

    For India to be developed, mobile networks, roads, and drainage are essential in our village areas.

    We get ₹20000 if we do the work of making incense sticks, make and sell them, and open our own shop at home.

    If we manage to get ₹20,000, then we will undertake a great venture and acquire a fan for the business. We will raise cows and buffaloes, and of the fan...

    We must inform the coming generations, our children, about our heritage and old traditions so that we do not abandon them.

    💰

    If we didn't go and got ₹20,000, we would not give our rugs, but make carpets and sell them in the market, and raise livestock like sheep to support our family.

    🌱

    One has to go to private schools in those very places. Government schools are in the village, and going to government schools is forbidden. ITIs, polytechnics, and quality hospitals should be opened.

    🌾

    Chickpea and Mahua food items should be provided by the government under PDS.

    — bachcha lal

    🏗️

    In our village, first there should be a road and a path for movement in the fields. The land consolidation of my fields, which has not happened, should happen. And a good hospital should open.
