Effective Tackling of Micronutrient Deficiency Through Kitchen Gardens

 The Peoples’ Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) have started kitchen gardens in Musahar communities of Varanasi to include fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet. The Committee has taught the community how to grow vegetables on a vacant plot, drainage & sunlight management, how to take care of seedlings, manure etc. (Raghuvanshi, 2019). This intervention has led to sufficient availability and increased consumption of vegetables such as sponge gourd, bitter gourd and snake gourd amongst others. https://mpp.nls.ac.in/blog/effective-tackling-of-micronutrient-deficiency-through-kitchen-gardens/
