Mandya Zilla Panchayat CEO K.R. Nandini announced plans to transition approximately 4,250 acres to natural farming practices in the district. This initiative, launched with a 'Siridhanya Road Show,' aims to promote millet cultivation and consumption, particularly among the youth. Efforts include educating women on preparing millet-based dishes and making these nutritious products accessible. The program also seeks to support women's livelihoods through self-help groups and encourages farmers to share natural farming experiences.
