21 extension functionaries working under UMED abhiyan, MSRLM for 17 villages in Tq Biloli attended the training.  The participants were enlightened with detailed information about the types of nutrition vegetable gardens & organic treatment at the household level.   They were also given the actual organic pest control demonstration along with the ppt presentation. These extension functionaries will further extend this information to around 2000 farm women.  At the end of the programme, each participant was given 17 types of vegetable seeds, seedlings, and fruits seedlings for the actual implementation at their village level.
