Enabavi

Enabavi is a small village, 10 km away from Jangaon in Warangal District of India, with around 45 houses.

The village is noted for turning out to be Andhra Pradesh's first organic village since 2006 in terms of agriculture and farming. The initiative was spearheaded by one of the elderly, Mr. Ponnam Mallaiah and supported by quite a few organizations like the "Centre for Sustainable Agriculture" in association with the "Centre for Rural Operations and Programmes Society" (CROPS). Paddy, vegetables, maize, corn, chillies, etc., are grown in this space.

Mr. Ponnam Mallaiah received two awards for leading the activity and making it successful. One from Ramdev Baba's Foundation and the other from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
