00:00In Makar Sankranti, just like there is a demand for Chura, Dahi, Gud and Tilkut, there is also a demand for this Muri or Murmure.
00:20The story of this Murmure is related to Giridi, the Matrukha Panchayat of Giridi.
00:26We will take you to Matrukha and show you how Muri has been made in a traditional way and how the people here are now disappointed with this business.
00:39After all, what was the compulsion that the women here do not want to pay much attention to the Muri business.
00:48Sabya Devi is doing the work of making Murmure in a wooden pot and mud pot.
00:56Sabya, who has reached the age of about 70, is still enthusiastic about her work and has the ability to make Muri with 20 kg of rice in a day.
01:09Since when have you been making Muri?
01:12Are you doing it or do other people in the village also do it?
01:16Do other women do it?
01:18Yes, many women do it.
01:25How much rice did you make before?
01:2724 kg in one day.
01:30If you make Khazari from Masilwa, will there be any loss?
01:34Yes, there will be a loss.
01:39Similarly, the aged Sagori Devi is also making Muri in the barn behind the house.
01:44Sabya Sagori is from the Matrukha village of Giridi.
01:49She is an example of women empowerment in the panchayat.
01:53In fact, dozens of women from Matrukha and Mahatoti villages of this panchayat have worked to make Muri of rice.
02:01This work has been going on here for years.
02:05How do you make it?
02:07We get the rice from the shop, boil it in water, let it dry and add salt.
02:12When it dries, we use sugar to make it.
02:16Then we roast it.
02:18How much rice can you sell now?
02:21About 8 kg.
02:24In a week?
02:25Yes.
02:26When Makar Sankranti used to come, there was more demand for it.
02:29Is it more now or was it more earlier?
02:31Earlier it was more.
02:32The work of making Muri and selling it in the market is also done by the women and men of the village.
02:40With this work, the women and men here educated their children, got married and prepared for jobs from other jobs.
02:50But now there are problems.
02:53The mill has opened in front of us.
02:57They make Muri in this quantity.
03:00They sell it at a low price.
03:03We make it little by little.
03:05The price of rice increases.
03:07The sales have decreased.
03:09That's why we left it.
03:10Sometimes we take it.
03:11If someone asks for it, we take it.
03:12We can't supply it.
03:14There is coal, wood.
03:16We can't get wood.
03:17Coal is expensive.
03:18How much did you earn before?
03:21In the same week, we used to make 30 to 40 kilos.
03:25And now?
03:26Now 8 kilos.
03:27Muri is a business.
03:29Two girls got married.
03:30The boy got married.
03:32We dug up the soil and made it.
03:36We also increased the land.
03:39Whatever we did, we did it honestly.
03:42We also built a house.
03:44The boy and the girl got married.
03:46Now Muri is running.
03:48It has become like this.
03:50We don't sell it sitting in the machine.
03:53Muri has been traditionally prepared in Giridi's Matrukha and Mahatudi.
03:59The taste of Muri made on wood fire is unique.
04:04However, over time, Muri has started to be made from machines in many places.
04:11Burning has become expensive.
04:13In this way, this business has been directly affected.
04:17The situation is that the Matrukha and Mahatudi village,
04:20where more than 300 women used to work with their families,
04:25has started to shrink.
04:27Now this work is being done by women of only 100 families.
04:31How many families used to make Murgure in the Matrukha village?
04:37At least 290 houses.
04:40What is the situation now?
04:42Now the situation is that there is no wood.
04:44There is no farming.
04:46Because of that, it has become less.
04:48The difference is that it is very difficult for them to bring rice and then burn wood.
04:52It is very difficult.
04:53It is made by hand.
04:54It is made by machine.
04:55It is cheap.
04:56It is not seen in this expensive one.
04:58Whose house is Swad?
04:59Swad is the house owner.
05:01How many families are there now?
05:03At least 50 families are there now.
05:05Earlier it was 200 families.
05:07Yes.
05:08Only in Mahatudi?
05:09Yes, in Mahatudi.
05:10Is there anywhere nearby?
05:11There is Matrukha nearby.
05:13It is the same in Matrukha.
05:15How many houses are there in Matrukha?
05:16It is almost the same in Matrukha.
05:18There are 50 houses in Matrukha.
05:19So now 100 women are working here?
05:21Yes, 100 women are working here.
05:23The local chief, Ravindra Mandal says that the demand for Murhi here is in many nearby villages.
05:29This is a traditional crop.
05:31The breakfast of most of the people living in Jharkhand and Bengal starts with this Murhi.
05:38But now this crop needs to be saved.
05:42See, the story of Murhi is from before our birth.
05:46Our grandfather used to tell us.
05:52Like our grandfather used to say that his mother sold him Murhi and taught him.
05:57And after teaching him, today he is a well-known teacher of Baniyadej.
06:03And he retired from there.
06:05And this is the story of almost all the houses belonging to the Mandal or Shundi.
06:15All the women here work hard day and night to prepare Murhi.
06:21And they are still doing it today.
06:24Of course, these people work very hard.
06:26They roast Murhi in wood fire.
06:31And everyone uses this Murhi to taste it.
06:38But the modernization that is happening now,
06:42I think that our traditional means of livelihood has been reduced.
06:52People are disappointed.
06:54They are using the Murhi that is made by machine.
07:01I would like to request the government that
07:05the traditional Murhi that is made in wood fire,
07:12to encourage such women,
07:16modernize these women so that their livelihood can be better.
07:24Definitely, the Murhi that is made in Matrukha Panchayat is very tasty.
07:30Because this Murhi is made in wood fire.
07:33There is a demand for it.
07:35But due to the lack of benefits, people are moving away from this business.
07:42If the government pays attention to this,
07:45and encourages the women here,
07:48then this work of making Murhi in Matrukha Panchayat
07:53can definitely make the name of the state proud.
