• Apart from providing fresh vegetables, the
  initiative is also aimed at making school
  children learn farming and take up plantations at
  their homes. Many Anganwadi schools in Eklaspur,
  Perepalla, Appampally, Marikal, Kosgi, Krishna
  and others are raising such nutri-gardens and
  reaping good benefits.
