Chhatarpur. There is a plant found in the district whose use most people do not know about. But Shivram, a resident of the district, has been making baskets from the branches of this plant for years. The stalk made from this plant is strong and durable. Also, it is available to buy at cheap prices.
While talking to Local 18, Shivram tells that for the last 40 years we have been making strong stakes from the Gulchatar plant. We make tips from small to big sizes. In the regional language here, it is also called Dalia, Tipar or Tipra, Gulaiya and Tokri.
Plants are easily available
Shivram tells that this plant is easily available here for making dalia. Tips for other plants are also formed from Gulchatar. Daliyas are also made from the stalks of Saheru, Anth and Arhar.
There is more demand in rural areas
Shivram tells that there is a lot of demand for these tips in Chhatarpur district. Especially, their demand is high in rural areas. Farmer families buy these pulses the most. Because they are used in filling everything from grains to chaff. Also, these tips are useful for keeping puri-laddus in programs like weddings.
sold in the market at this price
Shivram tells that the price of these nuggets depends on their size. However, most of the balls are made in large sizes. According to the size of the pieces, their rates range from Rs 100, Rs 150, Rs 200 and Rs 250.
