Agriculture Awareness Programme
Navgyan Tribal Empowerment and Rural Trust organized an Agriculture Awareness Programme at Kairembikhok, Manipur, with the aim of promoting sustainable farming practices, improving agricultural knowledge, and encouraging farmers to adopt practical and environmentally responsible methods.
The programme was led by Mrs. Sorojini Palmei, President of Navgyan Tribal Empowerment and Rural Trust, with the active participation of Mr. Palmei Houthalung, Secretary, and Mr. Naorem Rabichandra Singh, Treasurer, along with community members, farmers, women, and volunteers. The Trust’s leadership and members engaged with participants through awareness sessions, demonstrations, and practical discussions.
Key topics included soil health management, organic farming, crop diversification, water conservation, improved farming techniques, integrated pest management, seedling development, and value addition of agricultural produce. Participants were introduced to practices such as composting, soil testing, natural pest management, efficient water use, and sustainable cultivation methods.
The programme emphasized that healthy soil, responsible use of natural resources, and better agricultural knowledge can contribute to stronger farming communities and improved livelihoods. Demonstrations of seedlings, organic inputs, soil testing, and processed agricultural products provided participants with practical learning opportunities.
Through such initiatives, Navgyan Tribal Empowerment and Rural Trust continues to support agricultural awareness, rural development, sustainable practices, and community empowerment.
