Grow your own veggies: Telangana’s urban farming training on Feb 23 in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: In view of rapid urbanization, and the unavailability of the required area for vegetable cultivation, rising vegetable prices, the Department of Horticulture, Telangana, will conduct a training program on urban farming on February 23, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The session will occur at the Telangana Horticulture Training Institute, Red Hills, Hyderabad, under the ‘Mana Illu Mana Kuragayalu’ program.
The program aims to raise awareness about growing high-quality, pesticide-free vegetables on terraces. This initiative supports public health and helps reduce carbon emissions.
Vegetables are essential for providing the vitamins and minerals required for a healthy diet. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recommends an intake of 300 grams of vegetables per day, including 50 grams of tubers/root vegetables, 50 grams of leafy greens, and 200 grams of other vegetables.
The registration fee for the program is Rs. 100. Participants can contact 8977714411 or 9849299807 for more information.
