BALANGIR: The neem trees that were once planted aplenty in Balangir by erstwhile kings, have come as a boon for denizens of the district with NABARD introducing Integrated Neem Development Plan, touted as the first project on neem in the country. After introduction of the plan, around 10,000 women, mostly members of SHGs, have been engaged in collection of neem fruits.
