: VERMICOMPOSTING :: Wastes constitutes organic matter which can be utilized by properly composting it into a value-added end product called manure. The chief objective is to compost organic wastes not for the disposal of solid organic wastes but also to produce superior quality manure to feed our nutrient/organic matter hungry soils. Arpan Seva Sansthan has offered its valuable contribution for Organic Farming. It is organizational experience that if every village can formulate a cooperative society of unemployed youth/women group, it could be a wise venture for them to produce Vermicompost and sell it back to the village at a recommended price. Organic wastes can be broken down and fragmented rapidly by earthworms, resulting in a stable nontoxic material with good structure, which has a potentially high economic value and also act as soil conditioner for plant growth. Vermicompost supplies a suitable mineral balance, improves nutrient availability and could act as complex-fertilizer granules. Achievements Total farmers covered : 28,004 (VC units established) No. of Districts : 21 No. of watershed : 1300 Watershed area : 65,000ha.
