| Activity |
Kolli Hills is a very remote hilly
area which produces minor millets and rice. There was
no de-husking mill for minor millets. Minor millets are
a source of micronutrients, but their production had declined
for various reasons, one of the reason is time taken for
de-husking. Conserving these species, can be done only
by reducing the drudgery involved in de-husking. So the
group started a mill availing interest-free loan. The
group were able to over come the drudgery of de-husking
the millets which use to take several hours of time and
labour. |
