    Turning challenges into opportunities: Ravi Prasad builds a thriving business from banana fiber

    Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath revitalizes banana cultivation and associated industries by designating it as Kushinagar’s ODOP

    Lucknow, October 23

    Ravi Prasad, a resident of Hariharpur (Tamkuhiraj) in Kushinagar, faced life-changing challenges in 2015 when he was pursuing his MA in Economics. After his father suffered a severe accident that resulted in the loss of a leg, Ravi, being the sole child in the family, was compelled to leave his studies to take on the responsibilities of the household. In that dark moment, he felt overwhelmed by uncertainty.

    Seeking a livelihood, Ravi moved to Delhi, where he stumbled upon a stall showcasing various products made from banana fiber at the Pragati Maidan exhibition. Inspired by what he saw, he realized that he could replicate this endeavor in Kushinagar. Armed with newfound knowledge, he returned home and began laying the groundwork for his venture in late 2017.

    His fortunes changed when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the One District, One Product (ODOP) initiative, declaring banana fiber as Kushinagar’s designated product. This announcement invigorated Ravi’s spirit. With determination, he secured a loan of Rs five lakhs from the PMGP scheme, allowing him to kickstart his business.

    Today, Ravi’s banana fiber products not only illuminate his life but also empower over fifty women who work alongside him. His success reached new heights when he participated in the International Trade Show organized by the Yogi government in Greater Noida, where he sold all his goods.

    Ravi has evolved into a self-sufficient entrepreneur with an expanding social identity. Recently, the district’s DM and CDO visited his unit. Rabi noted that the designation of banana as Kushinagar’s ODOP has revitalized its cultivation and associated activities.

    Currently, Ravi produces a wide range of items from banana fiber, including bags, caps, bouquets, pen stands, yoga mats, carpets, carry bags, mobile purses, laptop bags, and slippers. He even exports some of his banana fiber products to firms in Gujarat, showcasing the potential and success of his venture.

    Additionally, the water extracted during the separation of banana fiber is sold for 15 to 20 rupees per liter. This nutrient-rich water, which contains calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B6, is particularly sought after by fish farmers. When poured into fish ponds, it significantly promotes the healthy growth of the fish.

    Moreover, excellent organic manure can be produced by composting the leftover waste from the fiber extraction process. Ravi previously made this compost and is now preparing to resume production.

    Ravi has also trained around 600 individuals in creating various goods and products from banana fiber. Moreover, approximately 60 to 65 women from different self-help groups collaborate with him.

    According to Ravi, the process begins by placing the banana stem in a cutter, which breaks it down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then fed into a fiber extraction machine, which separates the fiber from the stem.

    To enhance the extraction, a small amount of salt is added to the juice from the banana stem and heated. Following this, the fiber is dyed in the desired colors, ensuring that the colors are permanent. Notably, products made from this fiber are approximately 30% stronger than those made from jute.

  • Uttar Pradesh: Kushinagar bananas winning hearts from Punjab to Kashmir

    Uttar Pradesh: Kushinagar bananas winning hearts from Punjab to Kashmir

    Uttar Pradesh: Kushinagar bananas, grown in the revered land of Buddha’s Mahaparinirvana and designated as a One District One Product (ODOP) by the Yogi government, have captivated taste buds from Punjab to Kashmir.

    From Uttar Pradesh to Bihar and Nepal: Kushinagar bananas gain widespread popularity 

    These sweet bananas are distributed widely to major cities such as Delhi, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Bhatinda. Their popularity extends beyond Uttar Pradesh, with strong demand across all districts of the Gorakhpur division, as well as in Kanpur, Nepal, and Bihar, where they enjoy a dedicated fan base.

    According to Ashok Rai, in charge of the Kushinagar Krishi Vigyan Kendra, affiliated to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, local farmers grow bananas for both fruit and vegetable purposes, with 70% of the cultivation area dedicated to fruits and 30% to vegetables. 

    Uttar Pradesh

    The G-9 variety is most popular for consumption, while Robusta is preferred for vegetable use. Banana cultivation covers around 16,000 hectares in the district.

    Notably, banana cultivation and processing has surged in Kushinagar with the ODOP status granted to it by the Uttar Pradesh government.  Voluntary organizations are producing banana juice, chips, flour, pickles, and even products like mats, baskets, and slippers made from banana fiber. These products are seeing growing demand and enthusiasm. 

    Ashok Rai explains that in 2007, banana cultivation in Kushinagar was limited to just 500 hectares. Today, it has expanded 32 times to nearly 16,000 hectares with the ODOP designation. Additionally, the government subsidies approximately Rs 31,000 per hectare to farmers for cultivating bananas.

    Kushinagar, part of the Gorakhpur division, has a major market for fruits and vegetables. Initially, only a few farmers from Kushinagar would bring their bananas to sell in this market. Due to the high quality of the fruit, some traders from Gorakhpur began purchasing bananas directly from the farms in Kushinagar. 

    The bananas are being supplied to Delhi, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Bhatinda 

    These traders, who had established connections with counterparts in Kashmir, Punjab, and Delhi to trade apples, kinnow, and other produce, helped spread the fame of Kushinagar bananas to distant markets. Today, Kushinagar bananas are supplied to major cities, including Kashmir, Bhatinda, Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Kanpur, Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut.

    Noticing the increasing interest of local farmers in banana cultivation, former District Magistrate Umesh Mishra initiated efforts to grant banana farming the status of an industry. He convened meetings with bankers and directed them to offer easy loans to banana growers through various central and state government schemes.

    Murlidhar Dixit from Sirsiyan Dixit and Mrityunjay Mishra from Bharwalia  are prominent banana farmers whose produce is distributed to major cities across the state and country through commission agents. According to them, the peak season for banana sales is just before Navratri, driven by the festive demand.

    Banana farming is labor-intensive. The process involves digging pits for planting, applying fertilizers, planting saplings, regular irrigation, crop protection, and harvesting of ripe fruit. Additionally, the tasks of loading, unloading, and transporting the produce generate significant employment opportunities.

    Dr S.P. Singh, a vegetable scientist at Krishi Vigyan Kendra Belipar (Gorakhpur), advises that the ideal time for planting bananas is in February or during July-August. To minimize risks, farmers cultivating on a large scale are advised to plant in both seasons.

    Uttar Pradesh: Banana emerges as a more profitable alternative to traditional crops in Purvanchal and Awadh regions with Yogi govt’s support

    Uttar Pradesh: More and more farmers are taking to banana cultivation in these regions of  

    Farmers in Uttar Pradesh are increasingly turning to banana cultivation due to its status as a short-duration cash crop with consistent demand throughout the year. It is being grown extensively in districts such as Kushinagar, Gorakhpur, Deoria, Basti, Maharajganj, Ayodhya, Gonda, Bahraich, Ambedkarnagar, Barabanki, Pratapgarh, Amethi, Kaushambi, Sitapur, and Lakhimpur, covering areas like Purvanchal and Awadh.

    Uttar Pradesh: The Yogi government is providing a subsidy of around Rs 31,000 per hectare for banana cultivation. Additionally, the transparent distribution of agricultural equipment and subsidies on drip and sprinkler irrigation, along with solar pumps, have further encouraged farmers to adopt cash crops like bananas.

    Uttar Pradesh

    Traditionally, banana farming was concentrated in South India. However, decades ago, cultivation spread to Bhusaval and surrounding areas in Maharashtra, making the Bhusaval banana synonymous with the region. Over time, Bihar’s Naugachia bananas gained popularity, particularly in markets across North India, prompting farmers in Kushinagar, near Bihar, to cultivate it on a large scale.

    According to data from the Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture, Rahmankheda, Lucknow, India produces approximately 3.5 crore metric tonnes of bananas annually, with a cultivation area of about 9,61,000 hectares across the country.

    India and Uttar Pradesh banana production in Uttar Pradesh

    Uttar Pradesh: In Uttar Pradesh alone, banana cultivation spans around 70,000 hectares, with the total production of 3.172 lakh metric tonnes and an average yield of 45.73 metric tonnes per hectare.

    Bananas hold significant value, not only economically, but also for their religious and nutritional importance. No religious ritual is considered complete without the use of bananas or banana leaves. 

    In addition to being a popular daily breakfast item, bananas are often consumed during fasts. The fruit is also increasingly used for various co-products, including items made from both raw and ripe bananas, as well as fiber from the stem.

    While many seasonal fruits are available only during specific months, bananas are among the few fruits available year-round. Unlike most fruits that need to be washed or cut, bananas are easy to consume by simply peeling the skin, making them a convenient choice for many.

    Uttar Pradesh: Banana is very important not only economically but also religiously and nutritionally

    According to T. Damodaran, Director of the Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture, bananas are highly important from a nutritional standpoint. Rich in potassium, they are also a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin B-6. 

    Potassium plays a crucial role in heart health, particularly in managing blood pressure. A potassium-rich diet helps in controlling blood pressure and can reduce the risk of hypertension, potentially lowering the chance of heart disease by 27%.

    Prabhat Kumar Shukla, Principal Scientist at the Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture, emphasizes that the vitamin B-6 found in bananas is easily absorbed by the body. A medium-sized banana can meet approximately one-fourth of the daily requirement for this vitamin. 

    Uttar Pradesh

    Vitamin B-6 is essential for the production of red blood cells, the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, and converting these into energy. It also helps remove unwanted chemicals from the liver and kidneys, while maintaining a healthy nervous system.

    NTPC registers 62% growth in coal production from its captive mines

    NTPC Limited continues to demonstrate excellence in operations with an increasing trend in coal production from its captive mines. NTPC has produced 7.36 MMT of coal production as per data available on 31st August 2022 registering a robust growth of 62% compared to 4.55 MMT achieved during the same period last year.

    With meticulous planning, resource mobilization, and regular monitoring, NTPC has achieved substantial growth even during the monsoon period, so far, and is hopeful of sustaining the growth that will help in ensuring uninterrupted, reliable and affordable power generation.
    Further, NTPC has dispatched 7.52 MMT of coal from its captive mines as compared to 5.47 MMT of coal dispatched during the same period last year, registering a growth of 37%.

    NTPC has taken various steps to augment the coal production from its coal mines. The engagement of high-capacity dumpers as well as an increase in the existing fleet size of excavators has allowed the operational mines to increase their production.
