Farmers’ Training cum Exposure Visit

It is a well-known fact that farmers, in general, have a poor resource base, and as a result, their risk-bearing ability is also quite low. Farmers across different size groups are reluctant adopters. They adopt new technology only after they have complete reassurance and confidence that it will result in successful outcomes. Farmer Exposure Visits provide a platform to the progressive farmers to expand their knowledge and skills by visiting places where new technologies and techniques are being utilized in agriculture and allied sectors. These Exposure visits take the farmers beyond their district or state, and offer them an opportunity to learn and understand several techniques and ways of increasing their income by adopting new agricultural practices.

This program involves learning through on-field teaching. Exposure visits enable farmers from different regions to interact with and learn from each other, allowing them to view practical examples of successful integration of sustainable practices in farming communities like their own. Exposure visits are conducted at various research institutes which provide live demonstrations concerning a particular topic or subject related to agriculture. CARD has conducted exposure trips, visits and/or organized trainings for 10,000 farmers since its inception. Our goal is to train 1,00,000 farmers in total in the next 3 years.
