Basavalingaiah Shetty and Basamma, the septuagenarian couple of Banduru in Arsikere taluk, lost both their sons for health-related reasons in recent years. All these years they earned their livelihood by making pots and the turn of events have forced them to continue with the hardwork event at this age.
“We were making the pots by rotating the pottery wheel manually. But, now the age is not on our side. Thankfully, the solar-powered wheel has come to our rescue”, said Basamma. With the help of Selco Solar Light Private Limited and Banduru Gram Panchayat, the aged couple has got the solar-powered pottery wheel, which works with the help of a DC motor of 24-volt capacity
