The Governor was reviewing the progress on the nutritional intervention initiative taken up to improve the nutritional status of the primitive tribal groups’ people in select tribal habitations of three districts-Adilabad, Nagarkurnool, and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts- at Raj Bhavan, here.
Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan also emphasized on the promotion of hygiene among the tribal people so as to ensure their better health.

Highlighting the need to improve the tribal peoples’ livelihoods and ensure their economic prosperity, the Governor asked the agricultural, veterinary, and horticultural universities in the State to train the tribal people in sustainable agricultural practices, animal husbandry, dairy farming, and vegetable cultivation.
