Department of Fertilizers is committed to do its utmost efforts to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics.\u00a0 As these are non-biodegradable they pollute our environment. An effective ban on single-use plastic can happen if an alternative is available in the market.\u00a0 Cloth\/Jute bags, locally tailored and produced can be a viable alternative.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s self-help groups can easily be trained for tailoring and marketing of such cloth bags.<\/p>\n

Looking into such opportunities, Department of Fertilizers, during the Swachhata Pakhwada and Swachhata Hi Sewa campaign, decided to distribute cloth bags produced by Women\u2019s Self-help Group Sri Laxmi Devi Swasya Group of village Maragondanahalli Grama Panchayat Ramohalli District, Karnataka to its employees.<\/p>\n

It is a small step taken by Department of Fertilizers to reduce single-use plastic usage and to make people aware of viable alternative while at the same time to improve the income and livelihood of rural women of India.<\/p>\n
