Pramila Behera, 27, of Pengdusi village
in Thuamul Rampur block of Odisha’s Kalahandi district has started her
nutrition garden over two decimal of land beside her house. The small garden offers
her the freedom to decide what kind of food items she is going to offer to her
husband, daughters and son.
Though the idea of nutrition garden is
quite like a traditional kitchen garden. But, the difference here is that
Pramila grows a wide range of vegetables, legumes and leaves in her nutrition
garden so that it can give her control over food and fulfil the micronutrient
needs of her family.

to go to become truly smart. According to many city dwellers, despite
announcement of many programmes, Bhubaneswar lacks on many fronts to
claim itself smart, and the smart city development is confined to a
small part only.
