Description
Amid COVID-19 pandemic-induced adversity, a group of tribal women of Mucherla village in Kamepalli mandal is trying to chart a path towards self-reliance by exploring the nutritional potential of moringa (drumstick) leaves. The district is well known for moringa cultivation and the nutrient-rich plants are being grown on an estimated 143 acres in Raghunadhapalem, Khammam rural and other mandals adjoining Kamepalli mandal.
