ANANTAPUR FARMER'S 365-DAY KITCHEN GARDEN, A MODEL OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Their dedication to sustainable living has not only transformed their own lives but also made them role models for others in the community. Together, they have created a 365-day kitchen garden at their home, a model of self-sufficiency and health that is inspiring others to adopt similar practices.

Peddanna and Rajeshwari have fully embraced the idea of homegrown produce. They rely entirely on the vegetables, leafy greens, and medicinal plants cultivated in their kitchen garden for their sustenance, never purchasing these items from outside. Their garden includes a variety of plants, from essential vegetables to medicinal herbs like Ranapala, Aloe Vera, and Tulasi, which are used to treat various health issues without the need for chemical medications.
