Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE)
In RAWE students are exposed to real life of rural settings. Its aim is to develop a sense of awareness among the students about the problems of farmers and rural people to inculcate professional attitude in facing real-life problems. Major components are industrial attachment, field visits, village attachment and plant clinic. In the industrial attachment, students get attached to an industry and gain work experience over there. In village attachment, students get attached to a village where they work with farmers. They also help farmers in various operations. Field visits are organized to progressive farms, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Horticulture Centers and IPM Laboratory, etc. In the plant clinic, students undergo rigorous training. They diagnose the various problems of soils and plants related to production and give solutions or suggestions to farmers.
Practical Crop Production (PCP)
It is an integral part of the course curriculum for B.Sc.(Hons) Ag. Degree. In this land is provided to a group of students. They have to cultivate it themselves. They not only earn during PCP by selling their produce but also bear the risks associated with crop production.
