Those who have received training at NIRD will be linked to big companies regarding the products manufactured in their villages and provide assistance and cooperation in marketing and branding matters.Vijayawada MP Kesineni Shivanath said, “295 villages in the Vijayawada Parliament area would be taken for the project.”
