Training

Rallis is one of India’s leading crop protection company and largely into Agri Solutions business which includes crop protection products, seeds, plant growth nutrients, soil conditioners and agri-services to provide end-to-end solutions to Indian farmers. Rallis is known for its deep understanding of Indian agriculture, sustained contact with farmers, quality agrochemicals, branding and marketing expertise and its strong product portfolio of comprehensive crop care solutions. The trainers in TRAITS project are mostly from Rallis India who are subject matter specialists having considerable expertise in agriculture.

The training programme is non-residential in nature. However, there are few trainees in Saugor district, for whom logistics are being supported – for those few who have expressed preference to stay back at the centre. Mobilization of candidates have been done from adjacent regions and villages of the district. In Madhya Pradesh, most of the trainees hail from Saugor district.

Guest trainers are drawn from the local KVK. Agriculture experts from the nearby Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Viswa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, have been invited and they have imparted training lectures for TRAITS trainees in Madhya Pradesh.

With the resourceful KVKs hosting training in both the states, this is expected to be a right step in this initiative. KVKs have a played a frontline agricultural-extension role over the years with sound agricultural-on-station infrastructure at their institute campus and sprawling agro-farms.

he trainees in this initiative are selected rigorously. The regional Rallis teams have played crucial role in mobilization of unemployed youths. After initial mobilization, further screening of students have been done based on written tests and personal interviews/interactions. Finally, the set of right candidates have been selected as TRAITS trainees.
