The Kudumbashree mission campaign is to be implemented in each ward of the State
Close on the heels of the urban vegetable kiosks scheme, the Kudumbashree mission is launching an Agri Nutri Garden campaign with the aim of meeting a family’s complete nutritional requirements through cultivation of vegetables and fruits.
The campaign, to be implemented in each ward of the State, will see Agri Nutri Gardens come up in houses to put nutritious food on the table and take the message of farming to the people. Vegetables and fruits suited to the local climate will be grown in 10 lakh homes to ensure nutritious food for the entire family and income when excess produce is sold.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
