Project Overview
Agriculture remains a primary source of livelihood for many rural households, yet limited technical knowledge, traditional farming methods, and lack of access to improved inputs often result in low productivity and income.
The Agriculture Skill Development Program addressed these challenges by providing hands-on training, demonstrations, and technical guidance to farmers. The project promoted improved crop production, livestock management, soil conservation, and market linkage strategies to enhance agricultural sustainability and economic resilience.
Problem Statement
Low agricultural productivity and limited access to modern farming knowledge hinder rural economic growth and food security. The program sought to strengthen farmers’ technical capacities, improve production systems, and increase income opportunities through skill development and institutional support at the district level.
