Nagar Kurnool : On the second day of the NSS special camp, students from Professor Jayashankar Agricultural College, Palem, actively participated in raising awareness among the villagers of Thoodukurthi about soil testing. The students explained the importance of soil testing and provided safety tips for pesticide spraying.
