Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday visited the family of renowned tribal farmer and Padma Shri awardee Cheruvayal Raman, who passed away last month at the age of 74.
During her three-day visit to her Wayanad constituency, Priyanka reached Raman’s residence and spent time with his family members, enquiring about their well-being.
Raman, a member of the Kurichya tribal community, was widely recognised for preserving more than 45 indigenous rice varieties threatened with extinction through traditional organic farming practices over several decades.
