In a bid to bridge the gap between supply and demand and promote cultivation of pesticide-free, eco-friendly vegetables, the Horticulture Department conducted a campaign in Chennai on January 23 and 24 to promote vegetable cultivation on rooftops. The objective of this ?do it yourself? programme is to motivate urban dwellers to grow vegetables in an effort that can be sustained throughout the year. In Chennai, the campaign will be held in 100 centres, including Corporation parks and schools, in coordination with the Chennai Corporation. The department has plans to distribute between 15,000 and 20,000 ?Do it yourself kits? at a cost of Rs. 500 each. This could turn out to be a great initiative. People can buy these kits and grow vegetables for self sufficency at homes .
