It encompasses lecture by the resource person, participation of the trainees, hands on practice in farm, video films, focused group discussions and power point presentations. The emphasis is on learning by doing with a team of peer group on the demonstration farm at Bajwada. A team learns through hands on practices under special observation and supervision of expert trainers. To make a good understanding a booklet of literature, a video film and a few handouts will also be provided during the training. Evenings will be utilized for video based learning session so as to let the trainees comprehend the training better.

Evaluation:

The session schedule has also evolved a set of deliverables after each session. The trainers are used to make session evaluations by question –answer session or by group responses. This ensures that each session has been able to meet the desired result.

Also at the end of training program a formal session to assess the participants will be organised. The idea is to assess the trainer through the performance of the trainees. There is a lot of emphasis on evaluation of trainees in our programs since we too need to have strong extension mechanism through such trainings.
