Kitchen Gardening
Nutrition Oriented Rural Education and Kitchen Gardening Programme
The project came into being for sustaining and maintaining the continuity of homestead gardens, through regular supply/availability of good quality seeds, seedlings/saplings. Another major factor assessed was the lack of knowledge amongst the target population regarding the nutritional values of different vegetables.
