A nutrition awareness programme was held for farmers in CRIDA’s model village, Gaddamallaiahguda, on May 28, 2025. The main goal was to help farmers understand the importance of eating a balanced diet, especially vegetables and fruits

Special attention was given to women farmers, who were informed about how good nutrition can help keep their families healthy. After the session, vegetable seeds were given to the farmers to encourage them to grow vegetables at home through kitchen gardening.

This small step will help families eat a variety of healthy foods, become more self-reliant, and even earn some extra money by selling extra vegetables. The programme was coordinated by Dr. Jagriti Rohit, Scientist (Agricultural Extension).
