Under YMCA Appasamy Rural Trust Project, agricultural activities are carried out in the village of Rajapudukudy. During the year, corn was cultivated in 10 acres of land which gave a good yield and cultivation of paddy was undertaken in the following months. This is indeed a livelihood and employment option for the daily laborers of the village especially women.
