Floriculture project in Wayanad makes remarkable profit in Onam

In June, the Haritha Karma Sena (HKS) collaborated with the civic body to launch a project called Happy Happy Sulthan Bathery

Every year, numerous tourists from the northern districts of the State travel through Wayanad to Karnataka to relish the allure of flower gardens located on the Kerala-Karnataka border. Nonetheless, this year, civic bodies, farmers groups, and other organisations have established their own gardens in the district to capitalise on the tourism potential during the Onam holidays. 

An innovative project by the Sulthan Bathery Municipality to attract tourists to the town opened. The project focuses on floriculture and showcases the town’s cleanliness.

In June, the Haritha Karma Sena (HKS) collaborated with the civic body to launch a project called Happy Happy Sulthan Bathery. The goal of this initiative is to spread the positive and happy culture of the civic body throughout the state.

The members of HKS have planted marigolds, sunflowers, and gomphrena on two acres of land near Sulthan Bathery town, according to T.K. Ramesh, chairman of Sulthan Bathery Municipality.

The civic body spent Rs.3 lakh on the project, with organizers expecting to recoup the amount in a few weeks.

A tribe of women in Panappady, found in Noolpuzha grama panchayat, have established a garden roughly 100 meters from Kozhikode-Kollegal National Highway 766. The garden, which occupies half an acre of leased land, showcases 5,000 marigold plants in hues of yellow and orange, offering a pleasant spectacle for anyone visiting.

The pilot project was launched with financial aid from the Tribal Development Department as part of the Haritarashmi project, which is being implemented by the Centre for Management Development (CMD).
