V S Roy (Retired Joint Assistant Director of Agriculture) introducing different farming practices to farmers
The training session conducted at Cherpu was aimed to educate and empower women farmers on the benefits and methods of organic vegetable farming. Cherpu Grama Panchayat president, Sujisha Kalliyath inaugurated the programme. “The fact that even the food we eat these days is unsafe is something we ignore. Therefore, it is our duty to guarantee that the food our children eat is safe. Small actions we take in our homes might add up to a big step in the right direction.” Said Sujisha .

Retired Joint Assistant Director of Agriculture V S Roy led the session. He suggested various effective methods that can be adopted in the households at low cost. And discussed different farming practices to be followed and concerns raised by the participants.
“ A gradual switch from chemical-based farming methods to non chemical farming methods is required as we are getting more affected by the harmful effects of pesticides in our day to day life. People should be more aware of the practices and capable of implementing them on their own farmlands.” Said Roy. The programme was attended by 230 Kudumbasree members who were interested in initiating organic farming in their lands.
