Sahaja Samrudha in collaboration with Rebuild India Fund and Save Our Rice Campaign has organised ‘Desi Rice Mela’ to showcase a slice of the rice diversity of the country and highlight some of the lesser known varieties.
It will be held on May 18 and 19 at Nanjaraja Bahadur Choultry and the organisers described the event as a celebration of rice diversity.
It is also an attempt to showcase the agricultural diversity and the imperatives of preserving and conserving the rare varieties and variants of rice some of which are tottering on the brink of extinction, said Krishnaprasad of Sahaja Samrudha.
