Vision

Since 1968, I am interested in Agricultural Education for the benefit of the rural poor farming classes in India. Agricultural Education basically is an extension programme providing training, consultation and distance learning on various topics in environment, agriculture, animal husbandry, natural resource management and product value addition.

A total of more than 800 topics have been identified from the farmers and from people who work among them. All these topics can be grouped under the main subject ENVIRONMENT and hence I took at every human activity from the environmental point of view.
