Self-Reliance Opportunities
Job vs Self-Employment
1. Job: A person starts from zero and goes to the top
The next generation has to also start from zero
Self-employment: A person starts a small shop and
progress it to a restaurant
The next generation starts from a restaurant
2. Job: Called an employee
Self-employment: Called an owner
3. Job: Using the resources of the society
Self-employment: Contributing to the production of the
society
India – Agrarian Society
Indian Economy is Agriculture oriented
60-70% population dependent on Agriculture
We are self-sufficient in wheat, rice and sugar
33% pulses and oil-seeds (dalhan aur tilhan) are being
imported
India – Agrarian Society
Observation
Developed nations have 3-5% population working in
agriculture  self-sufficient
We have 70% population working in agriculture
 still we have to import 33% pulses and oilseeds
 not self-sufficient
We don’t have efficient agriculture techniques
We don’t have skilled labor
National Problems
1. Vegetarians are not getting enough dry fruits, fruits
(juice), milk – not proper production – importing
33% pulses and oil-seeds
Nation is not able to get enough medals in
Olympics because of improper food
77% children are suffering from mal-nutrition
2. Lots of trees are being cut daily for firewood for
cooking
3. Several areas are suffering from severe drought
4. Garbage/littering is present in every corner of the
country

All these problems offer opportunities for
Self-employment
National Problems
The average production of milk
(exaggerated)
In Developed nations it is 750 gm
is
100
gm
Solutions are
1. Increasing the production of pulses, oil-seeds, milk
2. Removing chemicals from farming

There is work for 65 crore youth
Good income
Solution to National Problems
Solutions are
1. Increasing the production of pulses, oil-seeds, milk
with the help of bee keeping
 an increase in 35% to 100% in the pulses and
oil-seeds
 reason: bees help in pollination
2. Removing chemicals from farming
 1 lakh crore is spent annually on chemical
fertilizers
 replace by organic khaad
 vermi-composting
Solution to National Problems
Solutions are
3. Increasing Milk production
in MP, Chattisgarh, Orissa
average yield per cow per day is about 2-3 paav
75% of the cows in India have yield less than 1
liter/day
(Vision 2020 book of Dr. Kalam gives a table,
which tells that in the world the maximum
production of milk is in Israel = 10000 l/cow/year;
the next is in Canada = 9000 l/cow/year; last is
India = 500 l/cow/year – this is an exaggerated
figure for India and the actual figure is around 150
l/cow/year)
In rural areas, about 75% children have not seen
outside milk (other than the mother’s milk)
Solution to National Problems
Solutions are
3. Increasing Milk production
It is noteworthy that the best environmental
conditions for cow raising are in India only
Israel has desert and Canada has cold climate
Israel took a cow breed from India’s Kutchh region,
which has 7 cm rain and resembles the conditions
of Israel
Through proper nutrition and cross-breeding
(research oriented approach) Israel has increased
the productivity of this breed so much that it has
become the maximum producer of milk in the
world
On the other hand India’s MP and other regions
have 30 cm rain
Solution to National Problems
Solutions are
3. Increasing Milk production
One of the attached problems is of water harvesting
In these regions that have 30 cm rain, there is no
methodology of holding the water
As a result, all the water flows away in the river and
the river dries in no time after rains
Jal Purush – worked in Alwar Rajasthan and
developed simple means of water harvesting by
making ponds next to the river and thus preventing
the water from flowing away in the river. This way
he could revive two rivers in the region
Therefore, water harvesting and cow raising have
to go hand in hand
Solution to National Problems
Solutions are
3. Increasing Milk production
Once water is available, proper fodder will be
available for the cows
For increasing the yield, a cow giving 2 paav has to
be crossed with a bull who was born from 5 lit cow.
This way the off-spring will be about 2 lit cow.
Then after 3 years this can be crossed with 10 lit
bull, …
This way it will take about 15 years to enhance the
breed to 10 liter/day/cow = 2000 liter/year/cow.
Solution to National Problems
Solutions are
4. Increasing efficiency of wood stove
About 65% of Indian population cooks food on
wood stove
If we take a round figure of 50% population and on
an average 5 people per house, then there are 10
crore houses using wood stove
Lets say, on an average the stove uses 2 kg wood
per day
and the efficiency of the conventional stove is 10%
 using 20 crore kg wood per day
Solution to National Problems
Solutions are
4. Increasing efficiency of wood stove
A new design has been developed, which has 40%
efficiency
Its cost is around Rs. 150
 So, there is 30% increase in efficiency
 30% wood reduction = 6 crore kg wood
= 60000 ton wood saving per day
