The development of minor waterbodies by SEVAI has boosted water recharge in Thotiyapatty region's wells.. This has enabled farmers to cultivate nutrient-rich crops like sweet potatoes, drumsticks, brinjal, greens, and other veggies.
Sweet potatoes are a breakthrough crop, offering:
- *Rich in vitamins and minerals*: Packed with vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants
- *Drought-tolerant*: Perfect for water-scarce areas.
- *High yield*: Ensuring food security and income generation
- *Soil health*: Adds organic matter and improves soil structure .
Farmers are also cultivating Moringa (drumsticks), a superfood with:
- *Nutritive leaves*: Rich in vitamins A, C, and calcium
- *Pods and seeds*: Edible and used in various dishes
- *Medicinal properties*: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
The produce is marketed in Trichy and Oddan Chadram wholesale markets .☀️🌿Govin
