Mrs.Benjamine Oberoi launches the second unit of vermi compost of PVF

Marutham vermi Compost is functional since 2010 and is a pioneer in the field of Bio fertilizer (vermi compost). The Director of the Marutham Mr. K.Devendran is Arumbuhalnagar based renowned agriculturist and has served the environment by all means. Marutham vermi Compost undertakes production of bio-fertilizer, which is eco friendly, biodegradable and proves to be in harmony with nature. While working as project director for agriculture dept of SEVAI, Mr. K.Devendran conceptualized the idea of developing bio fertilizer through cow dung, which was used as a fertilizer by the poor farmers of Trichy region. Since then experimentation of 2 years and his dedication towards the environment led to development of Vermi Compost. This has been developed through a mixture of cow dung mixed with Sugar cane factory waste and earthworm. The process went on and finally the product received was lab tested which provided astonishing results. The fertilizer has highest percentages of nitrogen, Phosphorous and potash. In addition minute quantities of essential minerals like zinc, copper, calcium, sulphur, boron and cobalt are also found in it.Marutham units have working staff of 17 people and have their own fleet of transport wagons for arrangement of raw material and transport supplies of finished goods to the buyers in surrounding areas. Dr.Benjamine Oberoi,the brain behind this project said that this project has been successfully completed with the support of PVF as implemented by SEVAI. Dr.Benjamine Oberoi launched the second unit of Vermi compost production unit in Arumbuhalnagar and said that the orgnic farming will be sustainable with less input with maximum production of food. The vermin compost to the farmers are to be supplied with fair price so that the farmers will get the manure for affordable price.-Govin
