By ETF Desk
The 'Sasya Santhe' event was inaugurated by local officials and dignitaries, marking the beginning of a three-day exhibition and sale of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and flowers. The event is being held at the Udupi Horticulture Department's premises, where farmers from across the district have set up stalls to showcase their produce.
The 'Sasya Santhe' is a significant initiative by the Horticulture Department to promote sustainable farming practices and reduce post-harvest losses. By providing a platform for direct sale of produce, the department aims to increase the income of farmers and improve their livelihoods. The event is also expected to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable farming practices and the benefits of consuming locally grown produce.
The success of 'Sasya Santhe' is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy and the environment. By reducing the influence of middlemen, farmers will be able to earn a better price for their produce, which will improve their livelihoods and reduce poverty in the region. Additionally, the event will promote sustainable farming practices, which will help to conserve natural resources and reduce the environmental impact of farming.
