Madgul: Sathi Reddy from Kalakonda Village, Madgul Mandal, Rangareddy District, planted 4 acres of oil palm in his fields. Our field officer, Vikram, and the sericulture department helped in the plantation and encouraged him to take this step. He received 1-year-old plants from our nursery and checked every plant before planting. Since then, our field officer has been visiting his field every week or 15 days to check the plants and provide advice on plant growth. Sathi Reddy also did inter-cultivation for additional income and is receiving a monthly subsidy of Rs. 4200 from the government.
