producing states for its daily requirement of foods like fruits, vegetables, grams

minimum, it could be need for the economic development of the state.

Agricultural scenario of the Block area
Even though, Kunnamangalam block is blessed with all natural resources,
agricultural sector owes step dealing. This in particulars due to the fact that, labour
in costly, liability in and many at times the produce from farmers a non
remunerative price. If agriculture block is to be made profitable, a concerted effort
is to be made in the field of mechanization, delivery of inputs availability of
quality inputs, and planning though eagle windows approach. With this prime
object, a new scheme in proposed to be launched namely service delivery through
