Stating that women also understand the importance of vegetables and their nutritional values, he expressed hope that the project will help them to be self-sufficient in vegetable production and enhance their livelihood and economic status.
He encouraged the farmers, particularly the women SHGs, to work hard and stand on their own feet and wished for Purasingga to emerge as a model village and model project for the rest of the state.
