INTRODUCTION
A properly trained agricultural graduate should have knowledge of
fundamental principles of agricultural and animal husbandry & dairy sciences
alongwith, understanding of complex system of production and its
interaction with society. Planning of this curricula for RAWE therefore aims
to develop a good interaction between farmers and agricultural experts
through students. During which students will learn the practical and real
aspect of agriculture production system.
In the curricula for undergraduate degree programmes, all the courses
have practical content which include laboratory exercises, field practicals,
visits to village, etc. In order to understand interaction between technology
& society, there is need for providing social/rural work experience to the
students during the last few months of their degree programme. Work
experience includes physical and / or mental effort exerted for a purposeful
activity that includes training, observation and practice, experience and
personal participation or involvement. One of the ways by which this can be
achieved may be through the Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE).
The rural work experience is will be a basis for developing a graduate’s
competence in functioning as an effective teachers/researcher or extension
professional in the transfer of technology to farmers and therefore, this type
of practical training and experience of working with farmers in village
becomes inevitable. Thus, the RAWE Programme is made compulsory and
shall form a part of curriculum for the awarded of the Degree.
