Economics of Cow - R R Padmanabhan, Director - Exim Academy

Economics of Cow

You may be baffled by the fact that India is home to maximum cattle population in the world.  The country is so diverse that it is reflected in the varieties of cattle.  This post is all about indigenous cows native to India, Tamilnadu in particular.  There are 38 districts in the state of Tamilnadu.  Each district has its own variety.  But it is also a pity that slowly these indigenous varieties are on the way to extinction because they are bad in economy and maintaining is no longer sustainable.  Why? Because they yield less milk and hence, they are not viable as a economic unit. 

There are many organisations trying to save these varieties but I came across a couple so passionate about saving these cows through a sustainable model based sound economic principles.  The farm is located on suburb of chennai, Pallikaranai!  It is really hard to believe that a cattle farm of this size (1 acre) exists!  This social enterprise breaks all conventional ways of making money from a milch animal.  The site of farm is given on lease by a good Samaritan, perhaps passionate or lending a hand for a good cause. 

Who says only milk is money spinner?  You will be really be astounded by the fact that starting from natural fertilizer, pooja (devotional) items, personal care, home care and health care are possible through cow dung and cow urine.  There are enough references in the Indian ayurvedic system about the efficacy of such products.  Of particular mention must be made about Ghee that provides solace to throat cancer victims.  The list of items is given in the table:

Fertilizers

Pooja items

Personal care

Home care

Health care

Panchagavyam

Cow dung cakes

Tooth powder

Floor cleaner

Ark

Jeevamrutham

Vibhuthi

Bath Powder

Dish wash powder

Panchagavya Grutham

Amirtha karaisal pesticide

Dhoop sticks

Panchagavya soap

Mosquito coil

Panchagavya powder

Gana Jeevamrutham

 

A2 milk soap

 

Basma

Cow dung Manure

 

Face pack

 

Nasika

Vermicompost

 

Headache roll on

 

 

 

 

Pain relief oil

 

 

City bred who have no chance to see cattle farm can take their wards to see the cows and children can feed them.  It is our duty to support their cause.  Don’t we have all owe and duty to protect our own cows?

Salem - My District My Pride - R R Padmanabhan, Director - Exim Academy

 Salem - My District My Pride I dare to say that entrepreneurial ecosystem begins from this district and goes through Erode, Tiruppur and Coimbatore.   There is so much of activity that goes on here. Salem is known as Steel City, but I would like to call it as Mango city.   The mango grown here is called as Malgova (I don’t know whether I spelt it right), the fruit is juicy and pulpy.   I checked up the Geographical Registry (GI), the fruit is yet to be registered.   It is time it is done to enhance its prestige in the world market.   Another distinct feature is Sago, native to Salem.   Recent times, Sago Serve, a State Government initiative in getting the farmers organized is doing well.    But much more needs to be in terms of marketing and branding.   The district is known for Granites, Fabrics, Readymade Garments, Egg and Coir and coir products.   In the state government’s One District One Product scheme, silver jewelry is t...

 Cuddalore - My District, My Pride The export potentiality profile of this district is quite amazing.   The district looks quite and simple despite the presence of major industries like Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), SanMar Chemicals and ONGC and number of sugar mills.   Beneath its calm surface, however, lie the vibrancy both in terms of religion, natural beauty, artistic dexterity and economy.   Perhaps, it is dwarfed by the presence of Pondicherry as its northern neighbor.   But instead of being overwhelmed by it like Villupuram, Cuddalore should strive to use international talent to its advantage.   Below is the list of export potential products and its location in the district Cashew Panruti Imitation Jewelry Chidambaram Organic chemicals Cuddalore Marine products Entire coastal area Ceramics Vadalur Coir Salaikarai ...

Drone Logistics - R R Padmanabhan, Director - Exim Academy

Drone Logistics  It will come, it is question of time, it is coming and now it has come.   This is the saga of Drones!   Few years ago, whenever I saw drones in wedding receptions for photography, never did I imagine that one day drone would play such an important role in saving someone’s life! We saw its efficacy when drones were used to capture images of people struck in an ashram.   Now and then, we hear its role in defense.   Now it is official.   The Drone Liberalization policy is out that seeks to increase the pay load of drones from the current 300 to 500 kg.   Entry of drone in logistics will be a major disruptor never seen before.   Imagine, you order medicines and in a little while, a SMS comes to your mobile to come out of the house to pick up the medicines from the Delivery (Drone) boy after proving your credentials!   What are the advantages?   0  1.     Cut costs 0  2.     Red...
