50,000 people visit three-day ‘Sasya Santhe'

The three-day 'Sasya Santhe' (plant fair) organised by Regional Horticulture Research and Extension Centre, University of Horticultural Sciences(UHS) on GKVK Campus came to an end on Sunday. The fair saw a participation of around 50,000 people. The fourth edition of the event was inaugurated on July 11. Speaking at the valedictory ceremony on Sunday, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda urged people to become more conscious of environmental conservation. 'The environment always satisfies human needs and desires, but if we all understand that we should not exploit it beyond that for our greed, then that will be our small contribution to environmental conservation. UHS has organised this Sasya Santhe to create this awareness and plant concern in our minds about the environment. Coming here and checking out stalls and buying plants is not enough and we should all care about the environment. We see weather events like flash floods, drought, landslides and the problems caused by rain year on year. If these problems persist, then the lives of our children will be difficult. Hence, for their benefit, we should make conscious efforts to conserve the environment,' the Minister said. There were more than 100 stalls that were set up in the fair selling various kinds of fruit, flower and ornamental saplings along with plantation, medicinal plants and vegetable seeds. Vishnuvardhana, Vice-Chancellor of UHS Bagalakote delivered the presidential remarks and said, 'In the next few days, we will launch a mega nursery on the UHS GKVK campus in Bengaluru where all kinds of quality seedlings, grafted plants, seeds, accessories, biofertlisers etc will be made available under a single roof. We will also provide training on urban horticulture, vertical gardening, terrace gardening, kitchen gardening, mushroom production etc.'

Three-day Mango Mela begins in Mysuru

Mysuru: The three-day Mango Mela, organised jointly by the district administration, zilla panchayat, and department of horticulture, commenced at Kuppanna Park in the city on Friday. Chamaraja MLA K Harishgowda inaugurated the mela by tasting mangoes at the stalls and interacting with the farmers. The mela was organised with an aim to provide direct marketing access to farmers to sell their produce and help consumers buy naturally ripened mangoes without using harmful chemicals like calcium carbide. The department has set up 47 stalls this year, where farmers from eight districts, including those from North Karnataka, have displayed more than 12 varieties of mangoes. Farmers from Mysuru, Hassan, Mandya, Ramanagara, as well as from Koppal and Belagavi, are participating in the mela. North Karnataka's famous Kesar variety mangoes are the main attraction during this year's mela. Over 130 tonnes of mangoes were sold during last year's mela, while this year the department aims to sell 200 tonnes. The department has also organised Sasya Santhe for the sale and demonstration of various fruit-bearing horticulture saplings, including guava, papaya, arecanut, coconut, mangoes, lemon, jamun, jackfruit, gooseberries, betel leaves, tamarind, Sitaphal, and betelnut during the mela. It is also providing information to farmers about the availability of subsidies and incentives provided to farmers for the cultivation of fruit-bearing horticulture crops under MGNREGA, the national horticulture mission, and several other schemes of state and central govt. Deputy director of horticulture Manjunath Angadi and senior assistant directors Mamatha and Habiba were present.
