Rural Awareness Work Experience (RHWE)
Preamble:
The Rural Awareness Work Experience (RHWE) provides exposure

to Horticultural students to the natural setting of the village situations,
work with the farm families, identify their problems and make use of
various extension tools for transferring the latest horticultural technologies.
The students also get opportunity to study the various on-going schemes
related to horticulture and rural development and participate in their
implementation. The students would be given rigorous orientation and
familiarization on various issues and problems expected on farmers’ field
and hence would gain competence and confidence for solving problems
related to horticulture and allied sciences. It would be implemented in
adopted villages under the supervision of scientists. Activities designed are
mainly focused on intensive observations/analysis of socio-economic and
technological profile of the farm families in rural areas, participatory
extension approach and acquaintance with farming situations, farm
practices and interaction with progressive farmers. Soil testing has become
the integral part of RHWE. This will help orient our horticultural graduates
for participation in various rural developmental programme. The students
will also gain first hand information on industries during attachment with
identified agro based industries. The Rural Awareness Work Experience
(RHWE) will help the students primarily to understand the rural situations,
status of horticultural technologies adopted by farmers, prioritize the
farmers’ problems, prepare farm and village development plans and to
