New Delhi. While buying vegetables from the market, everyone has the same fear that they may contain pesticides or any other kind of chemical, which may cause harm instead of benefit to the health of the family members. But common people have a compulsion that if they do not eat this vegetable then what should they eat? There is no other option. But this is now a thing of the past. Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI-Pusa) is giving people such an option, which is beneficial for health and is much cheaper than the market. Know this alternative to Pusa.
The village people have land and they sow many vegetables in it and eat them throughout the season. In this way, they remain healthy by eating organic vegetables, but the people of cities face the problem that if they want to sow vegetables, where can they do it and which vegetables can they sow. For those doing kitchen and balcony gardening in cities, Pusa is providing packages of vegetable seeds, the price of which may surprise you. Seeds of eight vegetables are available for only Rs 200. With this you can eat vegetables throughout the season.

Dr. Gyanendra Singh, Principal Scientist of IARI-Pusa and in-charge of the seed production unit, says that there are packets of improved varieties of seeds for both monsoon and summer seasons. The specialty of this packet is that a balanced diet has been kept in mind while making it. That means it contains seeds of those vegetables, which are beneficial for people’s health and are essential for people of all ages.
