Preface
Agriculture is the most important sector of Indian Economy. Indian agriculture sector
accounts for 16.1% of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) and provides employment to
50% of the countries workforce. India is the world’s largest producer of pulse, spices, spice
products and holds 2nd rank in production of Wheat, Rice, Vegetables. India ranks first
globally with highest net cropped area followed by US and China.
However, the agriculture sector which accounted for more than 30% of total GDP at
the beginning of reforms, failed to maintain its pre-reform growth. On the contrary, it
witnessed a deceleration in growth after the mid-1990s as the per annum growth in
agriculture sector dropped to 1.9 percent during 1996-97 to 2001-2002 from 3.2 percent in
the period 1980- 81 to 1995-1996. This happened despite the fact that agricultural
productivity in most of the states was quite low, as it were, and the potential for the growth
of agriculture was high. The 12th five-year plan target of growth of 4 percent per annum in
agriculture and allied sectors, set to reverse the sharp deceleration of 1996-1997 to 2001-
2002 has not been achieved.
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. 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 third Dean's Committee (1995) suggested
model academic regulations and curriculum 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. Further in 2017 5th Dean Committee made some
major changes in the curriculum of UG studies of Agriculture which made the final year of
graduation of completely experiential learning naming it READY(Rural Entrepreneurship
Awareness Development Yojana) comprising 1st
semester for RAWE and Industrial
Attachment and 2nd
semester for Experiential learning and Students’ Proects.
There is no occupation as agriculture, in which experience is essential and exposure
to farming situation is necessary to learn the required skills, the students should be able to
understand the socio-economic constraints pertaining to the adoption of new agricultural
technologies developed by the agricultural scientists. The agricultural education should be
RAWE - 2020 meaningful and practical oriented to fulfill the much-felt inner urge of
agriculture students to be at a take-off and ready to act stage when they complete their
graduation. 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-PnduPindara, Jind.
This report contains general information of district and village on area, cropped area,
population, culture, cropping pattern, economic status, adoption of crop varieties,
constraints in crop production, experience of intern, work done by intern etc.

Student READY: An Overview
The Student READY (Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojana)
programme aims to provide rural entrepreneurship awareness, practical experience in real-
life situation in rural agriculture and creating awareness to undergraduate students about
practical agriculture and allied sciences. The programme will help in building confidence,
skill and acquire Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) of the locality and thereby, preparing
the pass-out for self-employment. It also aims to provide opportunities to acquire hands-on-
experience and entrepreneurial skills. To reorient graduates of agriculture and allied
subjects for ensuring and assuring employability and develop entrepreneurs for emerging
knowledge intensive agriculture, it was felt necessary to introduce this program in all the
AU’s as an essential prerequisite for the award of degree to ensure hands on experience and
practical training. The Fifth Deans committee has given detailed curriculum of student
READY programme for all the disciplines in agriculture and allied sciences. The course
curricula have been restructured to develop much needed skills and entrepreneurial mind-
set among the graduates to take up self-employment, contribute toenhanced rural
livelihood and food security, sustainability of agriculture and be propeller for agricultural
transformation. The following components are proposed for carrying out one year Student
READY programme in all the Under graduate (UG) disciplines:
 Experiential Learning on Business Model /Hands on Training
 Experiential Learning on Skill Development
 Rural Awareness Works Experience(RAWE)
 Internship / In-Plant Training / Industrialattachment

ABOUT VILLAGE BY INTERN
CONCLUSION
PanduPindara village is well developed. Majority of farmers in the village are having
small land holdings. Education is quite good due to vicinity of Jind city. A good number of
people are in service. Related farming drainage of water is major problem in crop
production. Some of the farmers are advanced in technology and production including my
host and both contact farmers. On spot sale of produce is done and they do not adopt
university package and practice. Majority of farmers lacking advanced techniques of
production, they still consider it totally weather dependent phenomena. Inter-cropping,
mixed cropping like practices not practiced in village. Villagers are of very supportive nature
they helped us a lot during RAWE. They followed our suggestions and work.
Experiences can’t be written in words. Now I know that it’s really very difficult to grow
crops, because farmers face lot of problems during cropping season. RAWE is as important
as our theoretical classes in lecture halls. It generates confidence and provides integrated
understanding of various disciplines and practical training to agriculture graduates.
Classroom knowledge, practical laboratory and field experience in rural environment
greatly equips the agriculture graduates with desired professional skills to solve day-to-day
problems of the farming community. Placing the students in villages adds to their
knowledge, gives them an impetus and helps developing knowledge in the field problems. It
moulds us to face the future challenges for the need to sustain agriculture production for
increasing population of our country.
Now I can say that village conditions are not as good as cities. Villages are lagging much
behind i.e. in education, living standard, health conditions and many more. Much is to be
done to prepare the villages to keep pace with highly developing today’s world. Though
every system concerned to agriculture problems is developed by experts but it is not
necessary that it is ideal in all conditions. There are different types of constraints that
render the system with limitations. However, these can be removed with some
modification.
More over farmers are not so much educated and are not ready to adopt new
technologies as they lack in risk bearing capabilities as a result, they remain lagging.
Therefore, we have a RAWE program in our degree. So, the farmers get benefited from this
& they know about new technologies or new research done by CCSHAU which is very useful
for the farmers& increase their yield. The students will also be able to understand the socio
- economic constraints pertaining to the adoption of new agricultural technologies
developed by the agricultural scientists.
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. The food
industry in India is a very high multiplier, which is greater than that of power and telecom
sector. Today, the food industry in India is worth Rs.250,000crores. This will lead to major

RAWE - 2020 opportunities in high growth, mass - based, high volume markets generating
enormous opportunities for the corporate sector.
In this backdrop, there will change in the job market i.e. jobs 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
interns 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.
Through this RAWE program, I advised the farmers to go for crop rotation and also told
the reason behind it. I also advised them to test soil and water samples of their farms and
get ready their soil health card. We held the major training which was helpful for increasing
the yield of crops.
