The aim of this project is to raise awareness about Puthurvayal, a biodiverse hotspot, by establishing an Agricultural Institute under the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF). The project aims to highlight the site's natural signi cance while promoting sustainable development and preserving traditional agricultural practices. The objectives of the project include emphasizing the importance of the site's biodiversity, creating employment opportunities for the tribal population, educating people about biodiversity conservation, and facilitating the protection of endangered and local plant species.

The scope of the project involves utilizing the institute to educate locals, students, and tourists about the site's indigenous vegetation and the signi cance of agriculture in biodiversity conservation. The institute is envisioned as a platform for disseminating knowledge and technology, supporting sustainable and traditional farming practices, and keeping farmers updated on the latest advancements. However, it is important to note that the project has limitations, particularly in terms of construction processes that must be carefully executed to minimize disruption to the site's biodiversity.

The proposed site for the project is located in Puthurvayal, a village in South Wayanad, with an area of 49.7 acres. By establishing the MSSRF Agricultural Institute, the project aims to leverage the expertise of the foundation, promote research and technology, and train students in sustainable and traditional agricultural practices. Additionally, the institute can serve as a platform for knowledge exchange and capacity building among local farmers.
