- मूल रूप से हरियाणा के हिसार जिला के सलेमगढ़ गांव के रहने वाले 24 वर्षीय विकास वर्मा 12वीं फेल हैं। लेकिन विकास को इस बात की कोई परवाह नहीं है और उन्होंने अपने जुनून और कड़ी मेहनत से न सिर्फ खेती के क्षेत्र में एक अलग मुकाम हासिल किया, बल्कि हजारों लोगों को एक बेहतर उम्मीद भी दे रहे हैं।
- विकास, हिसार में “वेदांता मशरूम” नाम से एग्रो कंपनी चलाते हैं। इसे उन्होंने करीब छह साल पहले सिर्फ पांच हजार रुपए से शुरू किया था। शुरुआत में तो उन्हें काफी नुकसान हुआ, लेकिन आज वह हर दिन 40-50 हजार रुपए का कारोबार कर रहे हैं। इतना ही नहीं, वह अब तक 10 हजार लोगों को मशरूम उगाने की ट्रेनिंग भी दे चुके हैं।
- वह कहते हैं, “5 किलो बिस्कुट बनाने में एक किलो से भी कम मशरूम लगते हैं। इसमें आटा, दूध, घी जैसी कई चीजें मिलाई जाती हैं। हम एक किलो बिस्कुट 500 रुपए में बेचते हैं। वहीं, बचे हुए मशरूम से ड्रिंक्स, बड़ियां जैसी कई चीजें बनाई जाती हैं। इस तरह हमें करीब एक किलो ऑयस्टर मशरूम से करीब 8000 रुपए मिलते हैं। जिसमें 6000 से 6500 रुपया हमारा शुद्ध फायदा है।”

- लेकिन सूरत (गुजरात) के दो भाइयों ने अपने स्टार्टअप, सस्टेनेबल लाइवलीहुड इनिशिएटिव इंडिया (SLII) के माध्यम से इस संकट को हल करने के लिए एक अनूठा समाधान खोजा है। उन्होंने एक ऐसा ऐसा वॉटर प्यूरीफायर बनाया है जो दूषित पानी को मिनटों में पीने योग्य बनाता है। इस प्यूरीफायर के रखरखाव में बिजली का खर्च नहीं होता है। इस प्रणाली को उन्होंने ‘वरदान’ नाम दिया गया है। उनका दावा है कि यह भारत का सबसे सस्ता प्यूरीफायर है जो केवल 8 पैसे प्रति लीटर के खर्च पर पानी साफ करता है।
- प्रोडक्ट के बारे में बात करते हुए वरदान ने कहा कि इसकी कीमत 5,000 रुपये है और यह बिना किसी रखरखाव के खर्च के 1,00,000 लीटर पानी को शुद्ध कर सकता है, औसतन 40 लीटर पानी हरदिन। यह दस साल तक चलेगा और 8 पैसे प्रति लीटर की दर से पानी को शुद्ध करेगा। सबसे अच्छी बात यह कि इस पूरी प्रक्रिया में पानी की एक बूंद भी बर्बाद नहीं होती है।
