Shikalbaha Union is an area inhabited by cattle farms and one of the milk supply areas of Patiya-Karnafully dairy locality, but due to inadequate waste disposal system, water and air pollution in the area is widely observed due to cow dung and farm waste.
Issue
Irrational spreading of cow dung and urine, farm runoff water, waste feed etc.
Rationality
Proper disposal of farm waste. Drainage channel will be constructed from farms so that farm waste
e.g. Cow dung, urine etc. are channeled to and properly disposed into a pre-determined spot.
Achievement
We have developed 01 Community Drainage System through micro entrepreneur (MEs) under IDF-SEP project till March 2022
