About us

 The Project millet Village is intended for rejuvenating the traditional tribal agriculture in selected hamlets in Attapady.  It will be implemented jointly by Agriculture Department and Scheduled Tribes Development Department.  Apart from production of Millets, Pulses, Oilseeds, Vegetables and Apiculture, it is proposed to start Procurement, Processing, Packing, Labelling and Marketing of value added finished products of millets. In association with  Scheduled Tribe Development Department, site specific packages will be prepared which will include promoting ethnic food crops, minor irrigation, soil and moisture conservation, protection from wild animals, agricultural extension services, marketing etc, such plans will be implemented by Agriculture Department  in association with Scheduled Tribes Development Department  by pooling of resources. 

The infant mortality rate and death rate of the tribal community can be reduced by the consumption  of their traditional food produced. This will enable them to have a good healthy living for the  tribes in general and for pregnant women & the new born in particular. The tribal farmers are being exploited by the middle men at the time of harvest . This project will ensure an assured market price for their produce , there by fetching them an assured income .This will ensure them a better standard of living of the tribal farmers. The nutritional deficiencies of tribal families can also be curbed by the use of their traditional foods produced. Since we are planning a quality branded organic product for sales ,in the name of Attapady -Organic, there is good scope in marketing through various outlets , fetching a profitable business for nodal agency also. Ultimately  a socio- economic development of the tribal families and overall development of hamlets can be attained by the implementation of this project.
