Zero Sickness and Guaranteed Income through Parisar Baug


        Vitthal Bhise, who was in search of livelihood, lives in Ukadgaon village, situated between Shegaon and Warvat Bakal Road.

     Enough land was available with him nearby his house, but the space was not utilized by him for livelihood.

     With the help of Arvind Khadse, Field Coordinator of VSP, Vitthal developed Parisar Baug and cultivated green leafy vegetables which were totally free from chemical pesticides, keeping him away from health issues.

     From past 5 months, i.e. October, 2016 to February, 2017, Vitthal has cultivated vegetables amounting to Rs.3,250 /- in which vegetables of Rs.2,700/- was consumed for himself and remaining vegetables of Rs.550/- was sold to villagers who earlier carried negative thoughts about Parisar Baug cultivation.

     Along with money by a sale, Vitthal also reduced unnecessary expenses on various illnesses. He says due to fresh vegetables now, we have become healthier as a family.
