Temple to Village program:

Healthy eating habits promotion

Use of chemical fertilizers is one contributory factor towards the high incidence of kidney ailments. The 'Temple to village' social hospitality program should strive to encourage people to consume a wholesome and healthy meal with food items devoid of chemical fertilizer use, said Agriculture Minister Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena.

The Minister was addressing the gathering after inaugurating the 'temple to village' program under Mahinda Chinthana in the Welipitiya Divisional Secretariat in Weligama at a ceremony at the Hingurapaththala Kanishta Vidyalaya recently.

Minister Abeywardena said the nation building effort should be launched from the village and the clergy including the Maha Sangha should give leadership to it. The Minister who emphasised the need to develop agriculture as an environment-friendly industry also explained the ill effects of using agricultural chemicals and consumption of artificial food items.

Ven Kotapola Mahinda Thera of the 'Temple to village' program and Maj Gen Parakrama Pannipitiya were also present.
