HDFC Bank Parivartan’s Post

GVT and HDFC Bank's CSR initiative, Parivartan are joining forces to transform farming and champion sustainable practices in Baloda Bazaar, Chhatisgarh. In the face of degraded soil potentially releasing a staggering 850 billion tonnes of CO2, our initiatives like Kitchen Gardens, Organic Farming, and Farmers' Capacity Building aim to revitalize #soilhealth. By doing so, we're not only fostering resilient agriculture but actively participating in the fight against climate change. Mrs. Santoshi Verma of village Champa (Baloda Bazaar, Chhatisgarh) developed a Kitchen Garden in her 0.05-acre backyard, which sufficed her Nourishment, Livelihood and Identity needs. The expert support from GVT also improved the quality and quantity of the yield and soil too. Let's cultivate a future where sustainable farming becomes the norm, sequestering carbon and paving the way for a healthier planet. #sustainableagriculture #climateaction #GVTxParivartan

✨The Smokeless Chulha. Reduces Drudgery. Mitigates Health Risks! A smokeless chulha in action in Kinchirida village of Ganjam district in Odisha. The chulhas were provided to residents as part of a project with IndusInd Bank. Smokeless chulhas, designed to address the environmental and health challenges of traditional open-fire cooking, boost combustion efficiency, thereby reducing both cooking time and firewood consumption. By promoting cleaner and more efficient combustion, they mitigate the health risks associated with the smoke emissions of traditional chulhas. Additionally, the reduced demand for firewood leads to less time and effort required for fuelwood collection from forests, which in turn contributes to the preservation of forest cover. This innovation is particularly beneficial in rural settings, where the burden of collecting firewood and exposure to harmful smoke predominantly falls on women. 👇👇👇 When you engage with our posts, you're not just showing support - you're amplifying our voice! 📢 Every like, share, and comment helps our message reach more people who care, helping us tackle rural poverty at its very core 🌳 👍 Like if you support our cause, 💬 Comment to share your thoughts, 🔄 Share to spread the word! #womenshealth #womenempowerment #environmentalstewardship #ruralhealth #rural_life #ruraldevelopment #cleanenergyfuture #communitydevelopment #WOTR4Development

AMUL: The Ideal Organization for India Amul, an organization rooted in the cooperative spirit, epitomizes what India truly needs. Run by farmers, for farmers, it stands as a beacon of success.

She Churns, India Wins: Celebrating Amul's Women, the Backbone of Dairy Power! Nearly 80% of milk collected by Amul comes from women milk producers! Women across 13,000 villages in India are the silent heroes behind your favorite dairy brand. They wake up before sunrise, care for their families, and meticulously tend to their cows, ensuring the quality milk that reaches your table. But Amul's commitment to women goes beyond mere numbers. It's about empowerment. Through village cooperatives, women have gained financial independence, controlling their earnings and contributing to their families' well-being. They receive training in animal husbandry, milk hygiene, and business skills, becoming self-reliant entrepreneurs. This not only benefits them individually but also strengthens rural communities as a whole. Imagine a future where every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential. Where she's valued for her skills and contributions, regardless of gender. Amul's model shows us that this future is possible. Let's support initiatives that empower women, not just in the dairy sector, but in every aspect of life. Shine just like the Amul girl!

🌟 Turning the Soil, Turning the Tide: Aadhar Singh's Path to Sustainable Farming 🌿 🌄 In the heart of Baikunthpur, Chhattisgarh, the sunsets cast long shadows over Aadhar Singh's 5-acre plot. For years, Aadhar battled the unforgiving forces of nature and crippling debt. He believed in chemical fertilisers as the key to success, but they led him down a path of despair with two back-to-back crop failures. His wallet was as dry as the parched soil beneath his feet, and hope was slipping away. 🌪️ But then, like a gust of hope, the Holistic Rural Development Programme, backed by HDFC Bank's Parivartan, swept into his life. It introduced him to organic farming, particularly the magic of vermicomposting—a beacon in his darkest hour. With renewed determination, Aadhar embraced vermicomposting, and magic happened. In just 2 months, his land transformed into a green oasis! Fertiliser costs dropped by a jaw-dropping 91%, and his income skyrocketed to 35,900 rupees. 🌾 To secure a prosperous future, Aadhar built a field bund on 1.25 acres, preserving soil moisture and cultivating paddy and vegetables. His transformation inspired the village, turning him into a champion of sustainability. 💪 Aadhar's journey is a testament to how sustainable practices can turn the tide and pave the way for prosperity. 🌾 #CommunityHero #RuralDevelopment #FarmLife #Sustainability #OrganicFarming #WOTR4Development

Imagine 36 lakh women, each owning a piece of India's dairy giant. This isn't just a statistic; it's a story of daily dedication pouring into over 300 lakh litres of milk, contributing Rs 200 crores to the economy. This empowerment runs deep, woven through the network of 18,565 village dairy cooperatives in Gujarat. Established in 1973, Amul is a powerful collective of 18 district milk unions, boasting a whopping ₹72,000 crore turnover. But fairness is their true strength. When you buy an Amul product, a record-breaking 85% of that Rs 100 reaches the farmers, ensuring sustainable livelihoods and fueling their passion for quality. Amul's impact transcends mere business. It's a champion for women's empowerment. Since 1946, the cooperative model has equipped women to pool their resources, knowledge, and expertise, transforming them from dairy producers to self-sufficient entrepreneurs. Today, Amul is a household name, synonymous with delicious dairy products and innovative marketing. Yet, its true essence lies in the women building it up. #Amul #WomenEmpowerment #CooperativeSpirit #TasteOfIndia #Gujarat [Amul, India, Women Empowerment]

Market - product fit is what is critical to enhancing income of farmers. And there has to be enablers - both individual and institutionals. The SAFAL plant at Ranchi is one such enabler that has transformed the agri- landscape of the catchment areas. An exposure visit to such plants always has key takeaways. Farmers from Odisha from 8 clusters are presently visiting the plant and interacting with farmers and other stakeholders. That agricultire is not about PADDY .. there are other possibilities and immense opportunities- provided we produce for the market and meet the exacting quality standards. Then only can agriculture leapfrog from unpredictable and subsistence to sustainable and remunerative.

Scrapr Kabadiwala 2: Suresh Ahirwar, age 52. He started working as a #Kabadiwala when he was 18 years old. He has no fixed income. He roams the streets from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and some days he still can't collect enough recyclables to feed his family. He is our real #swachhtahero, and unknowingly, he is helping us recycle more, saving our resources, and contributing to a swachh bharat. They are the pillars of the #circulareconomy, and that is why we all should help uplift them. #scraprapp
