PREFACE

6

Agriculture is backbone of Indian economy. It has been a main stay of human beings

since time immemorial.

Its importance can be truly felt from the words of India’s first Prime Minister

Jawaharlal Nehru-

“EVERYTHING CAN WAIT BUT AGRICULTURE CAN NOT”

Agricultural education is an important means of ensuring increased agricultural productivity,

sustainability, environmental and ecological security, profitability, job security and equity.

With the rising agricultural production in the country and introduction of modern

technology in the production and processing of agricultural produce, the concept of farming is

shifting from survival and growth to value added agri - business approach. During 2014-15,

agricultural sector contributed to approx. 13.5% of India’ GDP and 10.23% of total exports,

besides providing employment to around 600 million of the work force.

This will lead to major opportunities in high growth, mass - based, high volume markets

generating enormous opportunities for the corporate sector.

The third Dean's Committee (1995) suggested model academic regulations and curricula

for agriculture graduates. Special emphasis was given to practical training to inculcate skill and

confidence among the undergraduates to enable them to meet the new challenges. To achieve

this goal, RAWE PROGRAMME in actual farming situation has been included in the course

curriculum of the B.Sc. Agri. students in addition to the on -going programme of practical

training at this university. Such a programme will provide and opportunity to the agricultural

graduates to develop self - confidence in farming and better understanding of the practical

problems faced in the field by the farmers as well as socio - economic aspects of the village life

more closely.

The main objective of RAWE is to teach the student practically which the student learnt

theoretically in college. It is the opportunity to gain the experience of problem faced by the

farmers in growing crops and other enterprises. This report owes its preparation to the sincere

and meticulous analysis of situation of village Nagal. This report contains the information on

area, population, culture, cropping pattern, economic status, adoption of crop varieties etc.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction of Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE) Programme

With the introduction of green revolution in India, agriculture in India has faced a

number of turns, success stories and of course failures at certain steps too. With the ever

increasing population of India, need for space and food has increased several times. Area under

agriculture is limited and decreasing day by day, but demand for more production is increasing.

So India has felt need of boost in agriculture, for this India has to depend on students of

agriculture and farmers. Because the scientists and researchers we see today were students of

yesterday and vice-versa. So as agriculture depends on these scientists, researchers and farmers

so alternately agriculture depends on students. Hence it is obvious that bright agriculture of

future means bright students of today. ICAR has felt this necessity for making its students future

bright because not only agriculture but whole Indian economy and hence India depends on it.

An important step in this connection was taken by the ICAR by appointing 2nd Dean's

Committee in April 1979. The Dean's Committee pointed out weakness in terms of need of

practical training in the Curricula of agriculture graduate degree. The committee also

recommended that the practical training should be in production-oriented aspects, internship

(IAP) and work experience in village.

The third Dean's Committee (1995) suggested model academic regulations and

Curricula for agriculture graduates. Special emphasis was given to practical training to inculcate

skill and confidence among the undergraduates to enable them to meet the new challenges. To

achieve this goal, RAWE PROGRAMME in actual farming situation has been included in the

course curriculum of the B.Sc. Agriculture Students in addition to the ongoing programme of

practical training at this university. Such a programme will provide an opportunity to be

agricultural graduates to develop self -confidence in farming and better understanding of the

practical problems faced in the field by farmers as well as socio-economic aspects of the village

life more closely.

With the rising agricultural production in the country and introduction of modern

technology and processing in the production and processing of agricultural produce, the concept

of farming in shifting from survival and growth to value added agri-business approach. The food

industry in India is a very high multiplier (2.4), which is greater than that of power and telecome

sector. Today, the food industry is India is worth Rs. 250,000 crores, which is expected to rise to

8

Rs.680, 000 crores by the year 2008. This will lead to major opportunities for the corporate

sector.

In this backdrop, there will change will the market i.e. job in government public sector

will recede and tremendous job opportunities will emerge in corporate sector as well as the

opportunities of self-employment. Obviously, there is need to reorient RAWE PROGRAMME

to the new challenges in agriculture, it is felt that there is need to depute items for imparting

them a short training in various agro-industrial units. This will add to their knowledge and give

them an impetus. This will also help in developing competency among agricultural graduates in

the areas of technology managerial skill, agri-business as well as to face future challenges of

employment.

The RAWE PROGRAMME is offered in the second semester of final year, to only

those B.Sc.(Hons.) Agri.Students who have already completed all the course work and other

prescribed requirements for the B.Sc. (Hons) Agri.Degree.

RAWE is aimed at total development of students in agriculture both theoretically and

practically. It makes its student to analyze and find possible solutions to rural agriculture on their

own. So students are tested for their knowledge and it gives students a moral and confidence

which is helpful to them in future. RAWE actually is aimed at connecting students to agriculture

by their soul and mind. So in end of this programme students are of agriculture, for agriculture,

and by agriculture. Many or say most of these work in future in areas of agri research and rest in

other areas of agriculture. RAWE hence provides bright future to agriculture research in INDIA.

This programme hence never ends in a students life who has faced this programme once in his

life. For students of B.Sc (hons.) Agri. in CCS HAU, RAWE is integral part of their life. So

hats off to this great programme and thanks to CCS HAU for making us to face it.

VARIOUS EXPOSURES FOR PRACTICAL LEARNING:

1) Orientation programme of student:

This phase is meant to introduce the RAWE to the student and to sensitize them towards

the changed attitude required in the whole programme. Prior to commencement of on - farm

internship programme, the interns shall report for orientation immediately after registration and

shall undergo training about curriculum on crop production technology, techno -economic

survey, preparation of farm plan, family budget , curriculum on extension education programme

and questionnaire about changing climate . After this, various scientists/teachers engaged in

research and transfer of technology teach the interns regarding production technology of various

important crops, attitude to be adopted to disperse technology to farmers and constraints in

adopting the latest technology.

Expected outcome:

Better understanding of basic agriculture Changed attitude towards learning

11

Development of team work Understanding of the RAWE programme

2) Agriculture technology information centre:

It is to help them to understand what is going on in the training and research centres, the need of today’s farmers and the role of trainers and researchers. In short, this period helps them to know the middle segment between the academic and ground level agriculture better.

Expected outcome:

Building research and extension competence Building confidence as an individual Information of recent advancement in training and research Handling practical work. Knowledge of collection, compilation and analysis of experimental data Knowledge of research techniques Knowledge of working methodology Revelation of administration and management

3) High-Tech cell:

It helps the students to be conversant to work with the modern gadgets like computer and the other machines we need for tissue culture and biotechnology.

Expected outcome:

5) Official authoritiesCollecting data from various authorities give a sense of understanding of the district

and village and a rare opportunity in college life to understand administrative hierarchy.

12

Expected outcome: Understanding official working system To understand power vested in different authorities

6) Agro-based Industries and Co-operatives:

This phase helps students to understand the meaning, nature and working of existing co-operatives and how to be entrepreneurs through the agro-based business.

Expected outcome

Creating solution-finding atmosphere Impact on agricultural development Management of different components Managing Economic crisis People’s participation Problem-solving attitude Team work development Working with people organization

7)Training on Self Employment -A opportunity to become self dependent even in time of crisis by helping to build confidence

and by improving personality. We come to know what it takes to become self dependent.

Expected outcome- Personality development Confidence build-up A step towards secure future.

Thus, RAWE is a learner-centered approach of exposing undergraduate students of college of Agriculture by using principles of “learning by doing” and “seeing is believing” to provide direction to think and act on their own. It offers a course to students to learn how to be competent, confident, capable, skillful and able to do work in real life situations. This experimental system in agricultural education has a strong potential to prepare a better agricultural technocrats with high level of skill in combination with the modern out-look and management capacity. RAWE is one of the best means to produce well trained agricultural graduates with broad based knowledge and techniques to meet the emerging challenges of agriculture.

YAMUNA NAGAR AT A GLANCEYAMUNA NAGAR AT A GLANCE

HISTORY

This town became the new home of the refugees who migrated to this part of the country on the partition of the country in 1947 .Rampura Colony, Model Colony, Model Town and Gandhi Camp areas of modern city were reserved for them, the position remained as such up to 1970s. The place was earlier known as 'Abdullahpur' which was later renamed by the city's eminent people as Jamnanagar and later on as Yamunanagar. Till 1947, it was a small hamlet of 6000 people, mostly population concentrated around Jagadhri Railway Station and Yamuna Gali, Old Radaur Road area. After partition of India, many migrants from Punjab in Pakistan chose to make Yamuna Nagar/Jagadhri their new home, and in the process. adding to the culture of the town. The area where land was allocated to the migrants, later developed into the Model Town area of Yamuna Nagar, the centre of the city area. The Topra Asokan pillar of Delhi was found in the village Topra Kalan, about 20 km from yamunanagar. Archaeological survey of India has found many Harrapan bricks and stones from the area.

AGRICULTURE

Due to the abundant presence of water, fertile soil, and warm climate, farming is an important part of Yamuna Nagar. Some of the more commonly grown crops are sugarcane, rice, wheat, and garlic. In addition to conventional farming, many farmers of Yamuna Nagar also participate in agroforestry; poplar or eucalyptus trees are often included in these projects.

INDUSTRY

Yamuna Nagar is well known for its industries. It has emerged as an important industrial destination in the state. This has been despite its relatively isolated location from rest of the state. Due to expanding industries, the city kept on extending geographically. This is primarily due to an increasing number of immigrants. This led to an intermixing of diverse culture. It also has to do with the rural ambiance which is reported to have undergone a lot of change. With increasing population, the trading aspects became brighter and the city went on becoming the second highest revenue generator of Haryana, immediately after Faridabad that owes its position largely to its prime location. The city has a paper manufacturer giant.Ballarpur Industries Limited (BILT) is a flagship of the US$ 4 bn Avantha Group and India's largest manufacturer of writing and printing (W&P) paper. The city produces sugar machinery, paper machinery along with highly efficient equipments for petrochemical plants, which are shipped to various refineries across the country.The city is also known for its plywood industries,GM Plywood Industries.which is attributed to the easy accessibility of primary raw material – poplar tree. It has also one of India's largest railway carriage and wagon repair workshops. Recently, Reliance Infrastructure has also installed Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Station in the town. Haryana Urban Development Authority has done major development work in the land-stretch linking the city with Jagadhri, the other part of twin city. Jagadhri is as also known as the 'Brass City', and famous for its brass and stainless steel utensils.

BENEFITS OF RAWE

‘If you provide food to a person, he will be contented for the day and if you teach him how to

grow the crops, he can maintain himself throughout his life and his generations.’

Our population is increasing day by day; therefore, it is necessary to grow more crops that are

productive. Agriculturists are trying for this in multidirectional way having galloping speed and rapid

spread with respect to time and space.

The practical training knowledge and skills required for increasing the productivity of crop to

achieve the goal CCSHAU, Hisar have implemented the Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE)

included in the course curriculum of the B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture in addition to on going programme of

practical training of the university. Such an opportunity to us provide the self confidence in farming and

to better understand the practical problem faced in the field by the farmers and also help us to understand

the socio-economic aspects of the village life more closely and constraints pertaining to adoption of new

technology developed by our scientists.

CONCLUSIONVillagers accept that our rural agricultural work experience programme is useful for both of us.Villagers used to take us for different field visits with great enthusiasm and use to feel proud in relating their successful management techniques of field problems.The work experience in the village was very useful to us.We learnt about practical difficulties in propagating a new technology We observed and experienced practical field situationWe study the crops while farmer cultivate the crops. our aim is to gain knowledge and experience, while their aim is to run their livelihood and maintain their social status. This course tries to link the two objectives :We studied about village infrastructure, characteristics of the farming community, and problem faced by them .in this course we were able to apply our theoretical knowledge into practical situation.This course combines the essence of the research from all the department of agriculture and tries to make us a full fledged practically oriented agricultural graduate.We are able to experience the agricultural extension system at state level and its linkage with the agricultural university.
