In order to financially empower the members of women self-help groups (WSHGs), the district horticulture department has decided to impart training on vegetable and mushroom farming to them and provide subsidy for cultivation.
In the first phase, 220 WSHG members will be selected with the help of Women and Child Development and Mission Shakti for carrying out farming activities commercially.
The selected women will be imparted necessary training along with financial support, said Ranjan Kumar Dasmohapatra, Deputy Director of Horticulture.
