Hyderabad: The Telangana Department of Horticulture will conduct urban farming training in Hyderabad on September 28, 2025. The programme aims to promote terrace cultivation of vegetables under the “Mana Illu Mana Kuragayalu” scheme.
The training will run at the Telangana Horticulture Training Institute (THTI), Red Hills, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Officials said the initiative responds to urbanisation, shrinking cultivation space, and rising vegetable prices.
