1. Rural Agricultural Work Experience Programme (RAWE)
Rural Agricultural Work Experience Programme (RAWE) is organized every year for the
under graduate students of B. Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture, final year VIIth semester. RAWE helps
the students primarily in understanding the rural situations, status of agricultural technologies
adopted by farmers, prioritize the farmer’s problems and to develop skills and attitude of
working with farm families for overall development in rural area.
1.1 Objectives of RAWE
1. To gain knowledge and experience opportunity aspect of agricultural technology being use
by farmer.
2.To make the students familiar with socio-economic conditions of the farmers and their
problems.
3.To impart diagnostic and remedial knowledge to the students relevant to real field situations
through practical training.
4.To develop communication skills in students using extension teaching methods in transfer of
technology.
5.To develop confidence and competence to solve agricultural problems.
6.To acquaint students with on-going extension and rural development programmes.

2. Various Exposures for Practical Learning
2.1 Orientation programme of student
This phase meant to introduce the RAWE to the student and to sensitize them towards the changed
attitude required in the programme. Prior to commencement of on farm internship programme, the
interns shall report for orientation immediately after registration and shall undergo training about
curriculum on crop production technology, techno-economic survey, preparation of farm plan, family
budget, on extension education programme and questionnaire about changing climate. After this,
various scientists/teachers engaged in research and transfer of technology teaches the interns
regarding production technology of various important crops, attitude to be adopted to disperse
technology to farmer and constraints in adopting the latest technology.
2.1.1 Expected outcome
i. Better understanding of agriculture
ii. Development of team work
iii. Understanding of the RAWE programme
2.2 Agriculture technology information centre
It is to help them to understand what is going on in the training and research centers, the need of
today's farmers and the role of trailers and researchers. In short, this period helps them to know the
middle segment between the academic and ground level agriculture better.
1.Building confidence as an individual
2.Information of recent advancement in training and research
3.Handling practical work.
4.Knowledge of collection, compilation and analysis of experimental data
5.Knowledge of research techniques
2.3 Farm families in villages
To understand the first hand experience of rural life. The ways by which farming profession impacts
the family life and their standard of living.
2
IIAST

i. Ability to plan out strategy to work in villages
ii. Real field experience
iii. Understanding real-life of farmers
iv. Understanding the gap between the rural and urban people
2.4 Official authorities
Collecting data from various authorities give a sense of understanding of the district and
village and a rare opportunity in college life to understand administrative hierarchy.
i. Understanding official working system
ii. To understand power vested in different authorities
2.5 Training on Self Employment
An opportunity to become self-dependent even in time of crisis by helping to build
confidence and improving personality. We come to know what it takes to become self-
dependent.
i. Personality development
ii. Confidence build-up
Thus, RAWE is a leaner- centred approach of exposing undergraduate of College of
Agriculture by using principles of 'learning by doing' and ''seeing is believing ' to provide
direction to think and act on their own It offers a course to students to learn how to be
competent, confident, capable, skill full and able to do work in real life situations. This
experimental system agricultural education has a strong potential to prepare a better
agricultural technocrats with high level of skill in combination with the modern management
capacity. RAWE is one of the best means to produce well trailed agricultural graduates with
broad based knowledge techniques to meet the emerging challenges of agriculture.

3. Bahraich- at a glance
According to mythology, Bahraich is believed to have been the capital of Lord Brahma. It is said
to have been a part of the Gandharva forest which developed by Lord Brahma as a place for the
sages to pray. The second story of the origin of the name is that Bahraich was made the capital
of Bhar Dynasty which led to the origin of the name “Bahraich”. (District Administration,
History, 2018).Bahraich was invaded in 1033 by Sayyid Sālār Masūd. Masūd and his
descendants reigned the region until they were overthrown by Prince Nasiruddin Mahmud - son
of Iltutmish who was appointed governor of Awadh in 1226 AD.

7. Conclusion
After interpretation of collected information, we came to the conclusion that the village
Munsari is 28 km far from the district headquarter Bahraich near Mahsi tehsil in south
direction. All communication media are generally found in the village for betterment of the
farmers. In general, there is an overall poverty and since the villagers are mostly low
educated therefore, they cannot use the sufficient agricultural knowledge to improve their
agricultural as well as farm production and thus to improve their livelihood. The
government should introduce practices like more and more establishment of KVKs, KGKs
so that the villagers and farmers, in particular can know about the government policies
about agriculture and thus they can get maximum benefit and advance their living. Also,
programme like RAWE are essential as well as beneficial for the development of the
village which ultimately can make the development of the country.
In brief, we reached on the following conclusion during our RAWE programme.
1.Undesirable application of nitrogenous fertilizer and pesticides.
2.Proper nutrition is not given to animals.
3.Only wheat husk or bhusa is given as a main food to the animals due to which lack of
nutrition is 4.major problem in animal food.
5.Lack of education in parental generation.
6.Commercial cultivation does not exist in village.
7.Improper way of cultivation of crop.
8.Less application of potash.
9.The cultivation of vegetables is high.
10.Horticulture is not encouraged.
11.Village have one co-operative society
12. Flood area and soils are good types
13.Pepoles are Migrated due to Ghaghra rivers.
