INAUGURATION OF RYTHU SIKSHANA BHAVAN AT KVK, WYRA ON 04.05.2022 KVK, wyra

Agriculture and farming are uniquely challenging professions specially for the millennia farmers who have to find creative solutions to a variety of ecological challenges. However, at the same time, the same age-old obstacles continue to remain an issue for many modern farmers. On top of this, new challenges have arisen in recent years due to climate change, rapidly depleting reserves of freshwater around the world, the looming food crisis, ongoing closures of food processing facilities and local businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, depletion of natural resources due to widespread industrial agricultural practices, high rates of food waste that can intensify food insecurity around the globe, disruptions in trade networks and fluctuations in global demand for agricultural products along with economic strife and crippling debt for individual farmers. In fact, farming communities today might be facing some of their greatest challenges yet and because of this, they have become incredibly adaptable individuals over the years. This can be done through Farmers Training Centers that will empower the farmers / farm women for better agriculture practices by imparting trainings on agriculture and allied subjects. They also provide farm advisory services to the farmers in various district. In this context, a Rythu Sikshana Bhavan at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Wyra under Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agriculture University was built with funds released by Smt. Rekha Ganeshan, Ex. M.
