Near Sunday, he addressed the last day of the three-day seed festival in Anmaspalli, Kadhtal Mandal and the three-day seed festival in Bharat Seed Swaraj Manch, stressing the need to see a statement of 20 urgent points for farmers.

He also stressed the importance of prioritizing women’s role in seed preservation and promoting mixed crop and crop rotation. V.
