Water conservation and organic farming practices win special praise
The Hosdurg district jail has been declared ‘Haritha jail’ (green jail) in recognition of a series of activities undertaken by it under the Haritha Kerala Mission (HKM).
Making the announcement, Revenue Minister E. Chandrasekharan lauded the jail for its exemplary service as part of the HKM’s sanitation, water conservation and organic farming practices.
HKM district coordinator M.P. Subramanian said the jail had been doing a commendable job in line with the green protocol. It included cultivating a variety of vegetables such as brinjal, ladyfinger, spinach, tomato, cabbage, and cauliflower and fruits on the jail premises. Most of them are cultivated using grow bag owing to space constraints.
