Vocational Excellence Award-
Rotary Club of Poona presented the Vocational Excellence Award to Kavya Datkhile of ‘Krishikavya’ which deals in making manure from cow dung. .
Kavya is a qualified nurse and while attending to cancer patients she learnt that all the chemicals and pesticides in our food grains, vegetables and fruits is the main cause of cancer in our country. That inspired her to do something at grass root level and provide means of growing chemical free crops. Her husband, working in an MNC left his job and joined her in Junnar where she learnt how to make the manure.
This product resulted in good yeilds which led her to train farmers and the younger generation how to make the manure in their own farms.
