  • Women are running a unique bank in Chhattisgarh, here money is not available for utensils, income is also tremendous

    As soon as the word bank is mentioned, banks that deal in money or blood banks come to mind. But in Chhattisgarh, women are running a unique bank where the money is not money or blood but utensils. About 1560 such utensil banks are running in the country under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Common people rent utensils from these banks for various events, functions and parties. After the ban on single-use plastic in cities, these banks are being seen as an alternative for common citizens to buy disposable items made of plastic like plates, plates, bowls, glasses and spoons etc.

    How do these banks run?

    Not only this, urban poor women are getting self-employment opportunities through utensils banks. These banks are also being considered as a unique experiment to develop sources of additional income for women. Most of the utensil banks are run by women in self-help groups or through public participation. The local administration provides funds to start it.

    Income is also great

    An income of Rs 3 lakh 85 thousand has been generated from the operation of one such utensil bank in Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh. Lalita Pandey, Didi Uttri Bank President, Ambikapur says that in future, Uttri Bank wants to further increase its capacity and tie up with banquet halls, hotels etc. of the city.

    Important role in clean environment also

    Utensil banks are also playing an important role in making garbage free cities. In most of the parties or celebrations, single use plastics like disposable plates, bowls, spoons and glasses etc. are used extensively. This causes garbage to spread in cities. Anku Singh, resident of Municipal Corporation Risali, said that he wanted to do something new in the birthday party of his daughter Prisha Singh. So he decided to do a zero waste event and rented utensils from Didi Utensil Bank.

  • …Only then will I consider Biswa Sarma a Hindu, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel replied to Assam CM

    Before the assembly elections of 5 states in the country, the statements of leaders regarding Sanatan and Hindu religion are becoming harsh. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had challenged the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh to take Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to Ram Mandil located in Ayodhya. Now in response to this challenge, State Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has raised questions on Himanta Biswa Sarma being a Hindu. Bhupesh Baghel said while talking to the media, ‘Himanta Biswa Sarma is a Hindu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also a Hindu. On the basis of Hindu religion, after the death of one’s parents, hair is donated i.e. tonsure is performed by the son. The Prime Minister did not get his head shaved after his mother’s death, hence I am telling Himanta Biswa Sarma to ask the Prime Minister to get his head shaved, only then I will consider Himanta Biswa Sarma as a Hindu.

    Himanta Biswa Sarma was present in Surajpur, Chhattisgarh to campaign in favor of BJP. During his public meeting on Tuesday, Himanta Biswa Sarma had fiercely targeted Bhupesh Baghel. Himanta Biswa Sarma, who reached Chhattisgarh to join the Parivartan Yatra, had challenged Bhupesh Baghel and former Madhya Pradesh CM and veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath and said that Kamal Nath in Madhya Pradesh and Bhupesh Baghel in Chhattisgarh say that they too are Hindus. I challenge him that if he is a Hindu, then take Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to Ramlala temple in Ayodhya.

    Now the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh has responded to these words of Himanta Biswa Sarma. Himanta Biswa Sarma had also said that he had given the land to Babar. There was a wait for Modi ji. We kicked Babar out and the work of building Ram temple started. That land belonged to Ram only, never to Babar.
