Phyodemo, a progressive farmer, shared his farming experiences, and as a farmer with extensive experience owning several farms, he challenged his fellow farmers to take farming seriously and generate income through it.

Dr. Myingthungo Ngullie, area coordinator livelihoods, led an animal health camp in which he addressed general livestock health status, management practises, and prevalent diseases and problems in the area so that livestock-related interventions could be implemented systematically.
