Andhra farmer makes sari from rice straw
Muvva Chinna Krishnamurthy, a 70-year-old farmer from the Venkannapalem village in Andhra Pradesh, has created a six-yard sari entirely from waste rice straw. Krishnamurthy took over two-and-a-half years to complete the sari. The farmer was recently honoured by agricultural scientists from the Indian Council for Agricultural Research on the achievement.
