This temple in West Bengal recycles used flowers into vermicompost 🌱 🪱
In a pilgrimage town in West Bengal, an initiative is transforming pollution into prosperity by recycling flowers used for temple offerings into vermicompost for local farmers.
Known for its 13th-century Ma Tara temple, Tarapith attracts around 12,000 devotees daily. The offerings of flowers, that are later discarded into the nearby Dwarka river, have long contributed to pollution and environmental degradation.
However, this trend is changing thanks to a collaborative effort between the Mallarpur Naisuva Trust and the temple committee, who have launched a project to recycle these flowers into valuable compost and other products.

    नेट मीटरिंग शुरू करने के लिए डिस्कॉम और ब्रेडा के द्वारे बहुत ही खराब रिस्पॉन्स है। अधिकारी और डिस्कॉम के पीछे लगे रहना पड़ेगा। हमने एक 10 किलोवाट का सोलर एक साल पहले लगाया और उसकी बिलिंग अभी भी एडजस्ट नहीं हुई है। डिस्कॉम द्वारा सौर उपभोक्ताओं और इंस्टॉलरों को बहुत खराब समर्थन।
