Dr Y.S.R. Horticultural University and ITDA-Chintur signed a three-year MoU on Sunday to boost palm-jaggery and Neera-based livelihoods for tribal communities. The pact was exchanged at Amaravati in the presence of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on National Adivasi Day, Deccan Chronicle reports. The university will provide technical guidance, training, research support and advisory services on Neera collection, palm-jaggery production and value addition. ITDA-Chintur will mobilise eligible tribal beneficiaries and self-help groups. The initiative aims to create women entrepreneurship opportunities and serve as a model for value-added tribal livelihoods.
