Sambalpur: The Odisha Rural Development and Marketing Society (ORMAS) and Odisha Livelihood Mission (OLM) jointly launched ‘Farm to Kitchen vegetable on wheel’ programme here on Sunday so that people get vegetables at their doorsteps during the lockdown period.
The vegetables will be brought to people within three hours of being plucked from the farm. Nine SHGs have been roped in for proper implementation of the programme.
Deputy chief executive officer of ORMAS Srimanta Hota said five SHGs from the rural areas and four SHGs from the city area have been roped in for the work.
While SHGs from rural areas will procure the vegetables from the farms, the SHGs in urban areas have been entrusted with the task of supplying vegetables to the housing societies.
