Harbingers of Change
G uddi
Kushwaha is a resident of Azadpura and a regular listener of Radio
Bundelkhand, especially the Shubh Kal programme. She is a big fan
of Bahiron Bhouji. She listens to Bhouji very carefully and tries to
adopt all her tips. In one of Bhouji’s skits, women were advised to grow
a kitchen garden in their homes and use waste water for the garden.
Guddi not only became the Shubh Kal Vijeta of this programme by
giving the correct answers, but also following Bhouji’s instructions
planted a kitchen garden in her courtyard. After some time when she
started getting fresh vegetables from her kitchen garden, she became an
inspiration to many of her villagers.
Vikesh Prajapati of Bangua is a
regular listener of Radio Bundelkhand’s Shubh Kal programme. If
for any reason he misses out the evening programme, he makes it a point
to listen to the repeat telecast in the morning. In this programme, he
heard about Amrit Mitti and called Radio Bundelkhand for more
information about it. Vikesh was already growing a kitchen garden at his
home where he now started using Amrit Mitti and Amrit Jal.
This helped him in getting better vegetables and fruits. His family was
a big help as Vikesh is blind and for him, doing all this all alone was
not easy. Now, he has become a hero of his area. He still listens to the
radio with the same passion and regularity and provides his valuable
suggestion on various programmes from time to time.
