Importance of Agati

The M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation is promoting Farming system for Nutrition (FSN) in the villages. Community Resource Persons (CRP) were selected from the village and trainings were given on agriculture and nutrition to sustain the activity after the project ends. I was also selected for the training and now work as a CRP. I follow what I learn in the trainings and also tell other people.
