Young environmental enthusiast transforms floor into canvas to spread message of conservation of traditional seeds

Transforming the floor into a canvas, young environmental enthusiast Blessi from Suddala village in Rajanna Sircilla district created an artwork welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Telangana.

Blessi arranged seeds of tamarind, custard apple and other traditional fruits in an impressive pattern on the floor at her house as a gesture of welcoming the Prime Minister to Telangana.

Blessi, along with her father Prakruthi Prakash, had earlier collected a large number of traditional fruit seeds as part of a green drive in Rajanna Sircilla district. They are well-known for their green initiatives, mainly dispersing seed balls in the forest fringe areas to increase tree cover and spread the message of conserving traditional varieties of seeds.
