Gauthans no longer mere cow shelter: CM

Thursday, 30 June 2022 | Staff Reporter | BAIKUNTHPUR

Inaugurating the Katkona Gauthan in Korea district on Wednesday Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said Gauthans are no longer identified as just cow shelters. They have been transformed into                     ‘multi-activity centres’.

He said the tag of the Gauthans as shelter homes of cows has changed due to             different economic activities conducted through women self-help groups (SHGs). They have become hubs to boost employment                opportunities in rural areas.

The villagers have developed a collective spirit towards it, an official communication quoted Baghel as saying.

The Katona village Gauthan has 14 SHGs groups with 140 members involved in different activities.

The Jai Maa Kali Group manufactures potato chips, spices by Shri Ganesh Group, Dona Patal (leaf plate-cup) by Pratigya Group and LED bulb assembling by Mahamaya group.

Similarly, Pratigya group is operating a mini rice mill, Roshni group is processing pulses, while other groups indulge in poultry and goat farming, vermi-compost  production and developing community kitchen gardens.
