Vizianagaram: Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan visited 'Badi nunchi Polam badi' stall at the Biodiversity Conference organised by Forest and Environment department in Vijayawada. The stall, set up by Jattu Trust of Parvathipuram Manyam district showcased their innovative educational concept being implemented in Manyam district, which impressed the Deputy CM.
