The important role that vegetables play in our diet, providing the necessary proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins etc, is too well known. The need for the systematic development of market and kitchen gardening, with a view to overcome the shortage of food at the present moment, is very great. In the Northern Circars not more than 48,000 acres is utilised for vegetables, although the scope for their culture is exceedingly great. The province of Madras claims nearly 3 lakhs of acres under vegetables out of the 28 million acres occupied by different food crops. This is obviously Insufficient to cater to the needs of the population.
