Vana Mahotsava in Gudibande

A Vana Mahotsava program was conducted in some villages in Gudibande Taluka. Marginal and Small farmers were given coconut, guava, sapota, mango, jackfruit, tamarind  and other fruit saplings.
The farmers evinced keen interest in receiving the saplings and assured the donors that they would take care of the saplings. They also said that they would eagerly wait for the fruits in a few years. The fruits would add to the income of their family.
Dr R G Nadadur, Smt Usha Shetty, Smt Janet Yegneswaran, Sri Laksh Kumar and others participated in the planting programs. More such programs are being planned subject to the availability of funds.
