Tirupati: District Collector Dr S Venkateswar emphasised the importance of utilising vermi compost produced from wealth centres, urging citizens to make the most of this eco-friendly initiative.

Speaking at the event, Dr Venkateswar remarked that displaying the compost collected from village panchayats during the weekly Public Grievance Redressal meetings at the district Collectorate is a commendable initiative. He noted that the vermi compost is produced naturally, without the use of chemicals and is particularly beneficial for growing flowers, fruits and vegetables. This compost not only promotes healthy plant growth but also contributes to better public health by encouraging organic farming practices. The DPO mentioned that the vermi compost is being sold at a favourable price compared to the market rate.
