Gonda Family Turns Ancestral Skill into Millions, Makes 1500 Kulhads Daily

• A family in Gonda's Prajapatipuram earns millions annually by making kulhads, transforming their ancestral skill into a thriving business.
• Manoj Prajapati's family starts early, sieving clay, kneading it, shaping kulhads on a wheel, drying them, and firing them in a kiln.
• The family produces 1000 to 1500 kulhads daily, supplying them to markets and tea shops across the Gonda district.
• They transitioned from hand-operated wheels to electronic wheels and automatic machines, received under the Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana, to increase efficiency.
• Demand for clay kulhads surged after the lockdown, driven by people preferring them over fiber and plastic, revitalizing their business.
