Game For Cow Dung Soap & Bamboo Water Bottles; Know The Prices

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari recently launched soaps made of cow dung and bamboo water bottles manufactured by Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC).

The cow dung soap has been priced at ₹125 for 125 grams. The bamboo water bottle costs ₹560.

Speaking on the importance of branding organic products, Gadkari said that he expected KVIC to achieve a turnover of over ₹10,000 crore in the next two years.

He also asked well-performing export units to get themselves listed on the National Stock Exchange. He said his Ministry has proposed a scheme under which 10 per cent equity will be held by the central government in such listed micro, small and medium enterprises.

“Twenty MSMEs were registered on the National Stock Exchange and are entering the capital market. We have formulated a scheme and sent it to the Finance Ministry whereby 10 per cent equity will be contributed by government,” Gadkari said at an event on Tuesday.

“We need professional, transparent approach with quality, with good packaging without compromising the spirit of our economic thought of Mahatma Gandhi,” he added.
