The Aralam farm in Kannur, which has been in the news for the recurrent incidents of human-animal conflicts and the destruction of farms, has something to cheer about.
The cultivation of flowers, especially Marigold and Chemanthi started on a pilot basis by the agriculture department and Tribal Rehabilitation Development Mission under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme here is reaping success.
A large area in the Aralam farm is being used for growing cashew, rubber and coconut plantations. But the wild elephants and other animals destroying them has turned into a huge setback to Aralam Farming Corporation Limited and tribals.
