Village workshop
• Agro-ecology map of the village using rangoli
and other locally available materials.
• Problems as perceived and experienced by
the farmers and probable solutions.
Expectations of the farmers about the roles
and responsibilities of government agencies
• Observations on opportunities and strengths
of village and Suggested tech-interventions
for overall village development
• Note: Record interactions and feedback for
annexing the same in the FET draft report
besides using them for suitably revising the
report. All presentation materials used in the
Village workshop should be used for FET
presentations at NAARM and submitted to
Seminar at FET Centre
• Objectives of FET
• Observations as to how this kind of
investigation helps Scientist-trainees in their
scientific career and to serve the rural people
more effectively, especially for taking up need
based projects in the future.
• Methodology : PRA approach
• Salient findings / observations of the village
study
• Indigenous technical knowledge documented
during the village study for their validation
• General problems of the farmers of the study
village and the top-most researchable problem
identified among the GI producers.
• Learning experience gained
• Note: Record the feedback for annexing the

NOTE:
1) Any office / organization beyond 15 kms from the FET Centre need not be visited and
indicated here.
2) Only one trainee scientist should visit one development office / KVK / NGO / input supply
agency, etc. For example, if one trainee goes to Panchayat Samithi, others need not visit
that office.
3) Village work is to be completed within 7 days. Village seminar in one day. Interaction
with development office / KVK / NOW / etc. in one day. So total number of travelling
days allowed for FET period within one month of FET is only 9 days. Out of the 9 days,
official vehicle is provided for First day, village seminar day and faculty visit one day.
Hence a trainee is eligible only for 6 days travelling, allowance during FET period of one
month. The T.A. to visit village or development office is as per ICAR rules i.e. mileage will
be allowed per K.M as per ICAR rules. The same is the case to visit development office.
Hence, no trainee is eligible to claim mileage only for 6 days to visit village and
development office.
