Mangaluru: Hadilu Gaddeyalli Bhatta Beleyona (Let’s grow paddy in the barren field) campaign was inaugurated on Wednesday June 23.

MLA Dr. Bharat Shetty launched the campaign by driving a tractor on the farm of Thamayya Poojary. The project was implemented by the State Department of Agriculture.

It can be recalled here that the MLA has been conducting meetings in various panchayats to raise awareness about the scheme. Also through the campaign, the farmers too are informed about the benefits of the scheme.
