Love Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh has often been dubbed rice bowl of Central India, with the main crop being Paddy. Apart from paddy, cereals like maize, kodo-kutki and other small millets, pulses like tur and kulthi and oilseeds like Groundnut, Soybean, Niger and Sunflower are also grown. Yet productivity is not very high. This brought a new thrust on the sector of Horticulture, as the region is also suitable for growing Mango, Banana, Guava and other fruits and a variety of vegetables.
