Khammam (Andhra Pradesh): Efforts by Association for Social and Humanise Action (ASHA), a Chintur-based NGO, to conserve the local varieties of traditional crops and promote community-based sustainable agricultural practices has earned the appreciation of the Andhra Pradesh State Bio-diversity Board (APSBB).

ASHA has been engaged in efforts to conserve the local varieties of food crops such as paddy and millets by organising awareness programmes in collaboration with reputed organisations such as National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) in the Bhadrachalam Agency.

ASHA has also embarked on preparation of biodiversity registers for some villages in Chintur mandal under the guidance of experts from the NBPGR.

The NGO has actively participated in the training programmes organised by the IKP-SERP to give a fillip to the Community Managed Sustainable Agriculture Methods envisaging eco-friendly agricultural practices like organic farming methods in the Agency.

ASHA secretary Syed Subhani received a certificate of appreciation for the NGO's efforts to conserve agri-biodiversity of the Bhadrachalam agency areas at a function organised by the APSBB on the occasion of the International Day for Biological Diversity in Hyderabad on Thursday.
