Aakruthi Eco-friendly Enterprises
Founded in the year 2022, basically we are farmers we grow banana so that I have
started a small scale industry that is Aakruthi eco-friendly enterprises where we
prepare the value added products of banana plant after harvesting.
This is very helpful for the farmers so after harvesting, the plant is a waste so we are working on the concept of ‘Zero waste management ‘we are utilizing all the parts of banana plant after harvesting we extract fiber from stem of the banana plant and make the handicrafts out of it, and also edible items from flower and pseudo stem and compost from the waste and organic potash which is required for the banana plant growth from the liquid waste so as this is an additional income for the farmers this is really very helpful and farmers friendly.
Our main motto is to generate employment opportunity for rural women’s that has succeeded as I have given employment for 5 rural women’s and looking for more .
It’s been 1and half year now it’s going good as I have participated in the international Jamboori event which was held in Alvas moodbidri and Krishi mela in GKVK Bangalore there I have received a good response from the public. I also sell my products through E-commerce
I specially mention this as our honourable Prime Minister ‘Narendra Modi’ has spoken about me and my work in his 107th episode of ‘Man ki Baat’ program which had reached all over the country which made me happy and more responsible

Zero Waste Management
We work on zero waste management concept of banana plant as banana plant is a waste after harvesting of banana so we utilize whole banana plant and convert them into products like both edible and non-edible products we extract fiber from outer layer of the stem and use it for handicrafts. And from pseudostem and flower we prepare edible items like pickle, relish, Chutney powder, fryums etc While extracting fiber we get waste that we convert into compost and organic potash.
