FARMERS TRAINING

2013-14:

This program is the combination of on-field training and class room learning. Progressive farmers are selected and taken to various research institutes like KVK, ARS, and Private owned research centers etc where the knowledge is imparted by the experts from the field of agriculture, animal husbandry, horticulture, floriculture and many more.

Progressive farmer's training are organized in the form of Interstate (outside the state of Rajasthan), Intrastate (within the state of Rajasthan) and within District visits/tours. Our team managed almost 100 participants from various parts of Bikaner District.

In 2013-14 we organized various progressive farmers' training which enhanced the scope of learning for the progressive farmers. These participants were exposed to most advanced research/training centers in India.

The following are the places where the program was conducted in 2013-14:

All the above centers helped the participants to understand the criticality of agriculture and animal husbandry in the current scenario. Through the on-field training and class room learning it was clearly visible that participants had a life time experience which definitely changed the way of their working.
