Lesson learned We learned from the communities organization and experience met during the learning routeIn the Rayale Kavre district, harvesting the cob, the remaining portion of the maize is used for silage making. residues of the that firewood, use for briquettes Plastic wastage utilized for basket in KapilvastuThrough learning route observation we get inspired and move towards innovation

•Working area is situated on the western region, Rupendehi district• Banana farming as the small scale in traditional way

Opportunities:

To increase social and economic upliftment

Product diversification Proper utilization of whole banana

stem Additional income Expansion of linkage between

cooperative and other line agencies

A. As the people are focused only on the one product of the banana plant i.e. the fruits. Here, we are using the whole stem of the Banana for the additional income, this is considered as a the best innovation

B. The principle of zero waste management

C. Additional income through Flowers will be utilized for the pickles Stem fibers will be utilized for paper, basket making Slurry remained after making paper will be utilized for the

biogas The waste of the biogas slurry will be utilized for making

the organic manure

Why this innovation is needed???
