Small Space, Big Earnings in Pune

When Sunita Deshmukh, a homemaker from Pune, Maharashtra, heard about vermicompost farming at a GREEN INDIA AGRO FARMING awareness session, she had one question: "Can I do this in a small city home?"

The answer was a resounding yes. Today, Sunita runs a compact rooftop vermicompost unit that earns her family more than ₹25,000 every month — all from kitchen waste and cow dung.

How She Started

• Used three large plastic tubs on her rooftop terrace
• Added kitchen waste, dry leaves and a little cow dung
• Introduced 1 kg of Eisenia fetida earthworms
• Harvested her first batch of rich black compost in 60 days

From Waste to Wealth

"I used to throw away vegetable peels every single day," Sunita laughs. "Now nothing goes to waste. My compost sells to local nurseries, apartment gardeners and organic shops across Pune, and even the vermiwash fetches a good price as a natural plant tonic."

Empowering Women Like Her

Sunita has become a role model in her housing society. She has trained 15 other women to start their own units, creating a small self-help network of vermicompost producers in Pune.

"You do not need a big farm to earn from vermicompost. You just need a little space, some dedication and the right guidance."
