The role of vegetables in human nutrition needs no emphasis. As per latest standards of nutrition, each adult requires 6 oz. of non-leafy vegetables and 4 oz. of leafy vegetables per day. Therefore an annual per capita production of 228 lbs. is required to maintain normal health of the people and prevent malnutrition. But the present 'per capita' production in our State is miserably low, as low as 37 lbs. Thus we are confronted with a huge deficit which has to be made good by more intensive and planned scheme of cultivation.
