Sanjeevni Rakhi: Gujarat based charitable trust makes organic rakhi of cow dung and urine

A Gujarat based charitable trust has converted the 'boycott Chinese' moment into an opportunity and started making organic rakhis of cow dung and urine. The trust employee claims that they have received a massive response from the retailers after the Galwan valley incident.

Kutch (Gujarat): Amid rising tension between India and China after 20 Indian soldiers were killed during a faceoff with the Chinese troops at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Galwan Valley of Eastern Ladakh last month, boycott Chinese products or companies chorus is growing across the country.

At first, the effect of the boycott campaign was seen widely on the sales of electronic products. Now, the trend has been shifted to other major products in the market.

Taking the moment as an opportunity, a Gujarat's Kutch based- Ramakrishna Paramhans Trust has set up a factory in which they are making Rakhis of cow dung and cow urine.

According to a trust member, they have been involved in the making of Rakhi for the last four years. They have named the Rakhi as- 'Sanjeevni' (A mythological item consumed to remain alive).

"Earlier, we used to make 3,000 rakhis. But this year, we have set a target of making over 6,000 rakhis. Each of the rakhis cost us Rs 2.5 and we sell them for Rs 8-10 each", said an employee working in the factory.
