Tourism circuit to be promoted to showcase organic farming at Nammalvar farm

Karur district administration has mooted an exclusive domestic tourism circuit with a focus on showcasing the organic farming methods being adopted at Vanagam, where renowned agricultural scientist and social activist late G. Nammalvar lived at Surumanpatti near Kadavur.

Vanagam, a non-profit organisation, collectively formed by people from different strata of society, offers hands-on training courses based on extensive study and research done over a period of several years and propagates ecological principles. To uplift the rain-fed farmers, research has been taken up on millets, pulses, and other rain-fed crops.
