2. Descrição da abordagem de GST

2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

Beneficial uses of Jeevatu in crop production and protection.

2.2 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

Aims / objectives: The use of Jeevatu has been and still is solely for agricultural purpose. The main objective of it is to effectively free the environment different poisonous chemicals that are present in the form of pesticides and fertilizers.

It aims to prevent and control pests and diseases, including bacterial, viral and fungal, in vegetables, cereals, flowers and fruit trees, and to improve the growth of the plant, the yield and the quality of the fruits (vitamin content and peel thickness).

It can also be used to keep different fruits and vegetables fresh for a longer period of time.

Jeevatu further helps by promoting the proper management of the waste materials as the key ingredient in the process of producing Jeevatu is different organic wastes.

It provides an advantage to the farmers by an economic point of view as well - the cost of Jeevatu is comparatively much less than that of other pesticides and fertilizers.


Methods: A 2 feet wide and 1 foot long pit is dug in a fertile land.

A plastic sheet is placed in the pit

Raw cow dung and water is poured in the pit and made greasy

The 1m25cm plastic sheet is then made air and water tight by tying it up with a jute rope

Every 2-3 days water is added and the mixture is stirred well
The water added amounts up to about 50L.

After 17-25 days , a green colour is seen in the outer surface of the plastic bag and the odor is no longer present, this indicates that the fertilizer (Jeevatu) is now ready to be used.

The plastic bag is then removed and a new plastic sheet is placed to start the production of a new batch of Jeevatu

1L of the previous made Jeevatu is also included to after the second batch to gain a better yield of Jeevatu.


Role of stakeholders: There are mainly two types

The producers-

They seek profit in terms of money as they plan to produce good amounts of Jeevatu and sell them to the people involved in agriculture or animal husbandry

The people involved in agriculture and animal husbandry-

They seek profit in terms of good yield of crops or animal products. The use of Jeevatu benefits them and keeps them as well as the environment safe.

2.7 Tipo de abordagem

  • Baseado em projeto/programa

2.8 Principais metas/objetivos da abordagem

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (animal husbandry, can also be used in kitchen, toilets, remove bad odors)

To learn how Jeevatu was made

To learn how Jeevatu was made available to the people

To learn how much the people knew about it

To learn the benefits it had in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry


The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Most people involved in agriculture and animal husbandry are not economically and financially strong. Hence the solution of financial and economic related problems should be given top priority.

2.9 Condição que propiciam ou inibem a implementação de tecnologia/tecnologias aplicada(s) segundo a abordagem

Disponibilidade/acesso a recursos e serviços financeiros
  • Inibitivo

Jeevatu is a local production, even though there is a specific group of people who produce it and distribute in the market as the methods to produce Jeevatu can be considered simple. Due to this reason other companies and people don’t show much interest in investing in it, hence there is low financial support.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: If Jeevatu can be produced in a large scale, it will gradually be recogzied worldwide, hence more financial assistances would be there and the constraint would be eliminated.

Quadro jurídico (posse de terra, direitos de uso da terra e da água)
  • Propício

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights greatly helped the approach implementation: community ownership meant no hindrance to development.

Conhecimento sobre GST, acesso a suporte técnico
  • Inibitivo

There is lack of technology use

Treatment through the SLM Approach: If by some way technology can be introduced in the making of Jeevatu, the production would be quicker, better and more reliable.

3. Participação e papel das partes interessadas envolvidas

3.1 Partes interessadas envolvidas na abordagem e seus papéis

  • Usuários de terra/comunidades locais

Farmers like Kalpana KC of Emadole, Lubu

Mainly used by farmers to enhance the crop productivity and its protection. Comparatively more economically disadvantaged groups were involved than socially disadvantaged ones. This is due to the cheap price of Jeevatu, i.e. only Rs.100 per bottle. Jeevatu being cheaper than other chemicals enabled the people of different economic groups to have better agricultural products.
