Allied activities such as animal husbandry, fisheries, and forestry complement farming, enhancing rural incomes and ensuring sustainable development. Together, these sectors play a crucial role in ensuring food security and driving economic growth.
An e-cycle, or electric bicycle, is an eco-friendly mode of transport powered by a rechargeable battery and an electric motor. It combines the benefits of traditional cycling with added electric assistance, making it easier to ride over long distances or hilly terrains. E-cycles promote sustainable mobility, reduce carbon emissions, and are an efficient alternative for daily commuting in urban and rural areas alike.
Dry ration refers to non-perishable food items such as rice, pulses, flour, and spices that are essential for daily sustenance. These items are typically distributed during relief operations, public welfare schemes, or stored for long-term household use. Easy to transport and store, dry rations play a vital role in ensuring food security, especially in rural and underserved areas.
