INTRODUCTION
In our india most of the people are adopting agriculture and allied
sectors as their occupation.so importance of agriculture in india is most
valuable than other sectors.as students of agriculture sector we have to
develop new technologies for more efficient work in agriculture.RAWE
Program is a very much imp.Part to achieve this goal.
The rural agricultural work experience programme (RAWE) is being
conducted in the seventh semester. In this program, all students are divided
into different groups are assigned to carry out different activities under the
proper guidance from our respected teachers know as supervisors and also
with the coordinators co-operations and participations of villagers.Here
participatory rural appraisal (PRA) technique is conducted to gain
experience. So we were required to carry out the exercises in the assigned
village with help of the villagers and submit our report through different
maps.
During the PRA exercise, we were exposed to village situation and we got a
basic understating of various on-farm activities. Each and every student
developed communication skills during the presentation conducted
regularly under this programme.
Various exercises under this project developed this knowledge of the
student and revised all the courses that we studied for the last 3 years. We
are now comfortable while communicating with the villagers.
I think the most important achievement of this RAWE programme is that it
has generated interest in the minds of the students to do something for the
villagers because we have very closely observed the real problems and
difficulties faced by the poor farmers.

ORIENTATION PROGRAMME
On 10th july.2017, the RAWE programme was started. Upto that period I was
having several apprehensions about RAWE programme from the 1st year.I believed
that this programme is a very hard programme .But when the programme was
started I was scared from the very beginning about What to do ,How to do…n so
many things.
Before direct exposure to the village there was an orientation
programme in the college itself from 10th july to 21 aug for a period of about 10
days. The motto of this programme was to make aware the students about the
works which should be done during the whole semester. All the students, dean
sir, all the faculty members of Dept. of Extension Education and 8 programme
supervisors were present in this programme. The programme was conducted by
the Chairman of RAWE Dr. R.K. RAJ sir.
During this week we would able to learn about the techniques of PRA.
All the faculty members of Dept. of extension education and other disciplines
helped us to understand and to practice all the exercises regarding PRA.
During this programme all the students were grouped into 17 groups
constituting 12 members each. We the group members had to do all the works
in the village together. Our group constituted of:-
1. Anubhav Biswal
2. Subhrajit Maharana
3. RAJESH BAL
4. RATIKANTA SAHOO
5. ANSHUMAN BALABANTARAY
6. SIDDHARTHA SARDAR
7. SAMRIT KU SAHOO
8. V. LOKESH
9. ASWINI NAYAK
10. PUNYASLOKA MOHANTY
11. RONIT DAS
We came to know that we were allotted one village ,i.e rainfed village named
ANDHARUA during this programme.
We are very much thankful to our Dean and dept. of extension education
for arranging this orientation programme which built confidence among us to deal
with the farmer in the village.

RURAL AGRICULTURAL WORK
EXPERIANCE
Agricultural Education is an important tool in ensuring increased agricultural
productivity, sustainability, environmental and ecological security, profitability, job
security & equity. In India, Randhawa Committee (1992) recommended the Rural
Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE) programme for imparting quality,
practical and production oriented education for agriculture degree programme. The
World Bank (1975)stated that there was little emphasis on curricula on preparing
the agricultural graduates forbetter career in agriculture oragribusiness outsidegovt.
jobs. Therefore, the agenda for the 21st century in agricultural education should be
drawn on the basis of the challenges it has to meet in the near future. RAWE
programme provides significant hands on experience in acquiring knowledge and
skill.
WHAT IS RAWE:-
RAWE (Rural Agricultural Work Experience) is a programme for imparting
quality, practical and productionoriented education for agriculture degree. Rural
Agricultural Work Experience has been structured considering the importance of
inculcating wide dimensions of knowledge & exposure to the students as village
stay programme.
The students are overwhelmed by the wealth of information they got from the
information. According to me everyday was an experience that taught us new
lessons. We got to interact with large/small//marginal/woman farmers. It was a 2
way learning experience with the farmer teaching the student & vice-versa.While I
got to learn the basics of farming from such farmers got to know the various
technologies & implements to improve farming.
IMPORTANCE OF RAWE:-
 Preparing Agricultural Graduates for better career in agriculture/ agribusiness.
 Preparing Agricultural Graduates to face the challenges by acquiring knowledge
& skill through hands on experience.

PARTICIPATORY RURAL APPRAISAL
WHAT IS PRA ??(Participatory rural Appraisal)
APPRAISAL: The word appraisal in the PRA means estimation of value of assets
and act as assessments of major quality and important of assets.In other words it is
the finding out of information about problems ,needs,& potential in a village.It is
the 1st stage of project.
PARTICIPATORY:Means that people themselves are involved in the process of
identifying the problems they face,determining ways to overcome them,designing
realistic plan to achieve the goals and carrying them out –a ‘’bottom-up’’approach
that requires good communication skills and attitude of project staff.
RURAL :The techniques can be used in any situation,urban or rural,with both
literate and illiterate people.
PRAis characterized by an applied, holistic, flexible approachof progressive
learning conducted bymultidisciplinary teams emphasizing community participants.
PRAis a way of learning from and with community members to investigate ,
analyze and evaluate constraints and opportunities and make informed and timely
decisions regarding development projects.
It is a method by which a team can quickly and systematically collect
information for:
 The general analysis of a specific topic, question or problem
 Needs assessment
 Feasibility studies
 Identifying and prioritizing projects
 Project or programme evaluation.
PRINCIPLES:-
There are five key principles that form the basis of any PRAactivity no matter what
the objectives or setting:

12. 12
1. PARTICIPATION -PRA relies heavily on participation by the communities, as
the method is designed to enable local people to be involved, not only as sources of
information, but as partners with the PRA team in gathering and analyzing the
information.
2. FLEXIBILITY - Thecombination of techniques that is appropriate in a particular
development context will be determined by such variables as the size and skill mix
of the PRA team, the time and resources available, and the topic and location of the
work.
3. TEAMWORK - Generally, a PRA is best conducted by a local team (speaking
the local languages) with a few outsiders present, a significant representation of
women, and a mix of sector specialists and social scientists, according to the topic.
4. OPTIMAL IGNORANCE - To be efficient in terms of both time and money,
PRA work intends to gather just enough information to make the necessary
recommendations and decisions.
5. SYSTEMATIC - As PRA-generated data is seldom conducive to statistical
analysis (given its largely qualitative nature and relatively small sample size),
alternative ways have been developed to ensure the validity and reliability of the
findings. These include sampling based on approximate stratification of the
community by geographic location or relative wealth, and cross-checking, that is
using a number of techniques to investigate views on a single topic .
6. LISTENING AND LEARNING- PRA is based on the principles of listening and
learning through participatory interaction and learning progressives.The local
people have their knowledge,experience,history and culture,views and ideas,their
priorities and preferrance.
7.OFFSETTING BIOPSIS- PRA helps at offsetting biopsies which generally
accompany a rashed appraisal by professional for quick result.It refers to be
receptive rather than pre-concived areas.
8.SEEKING DIVERSITY-PRAinvolves learning from diverse condition and diff.
factors.it consult with more of diff.rather than looking for representiveness of result
or data collected.
9.TRIANGULATION AND CROSS-CHECKING-It is adopted as a principle to
improve trustworthyness of data.it will be done by changing the team
composition,the sources of information and the techniques applied.
10.MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM- The team includes scientist from all
imp.disciplins relevant to the area of study.The team should identify among
themselves one member who should work as team leader or facilitator ,another
member should be identified to wok as process recorder,the responsibility of the
rapport building may be assigned to one member of the team ,who could work as
environmental collecter.
11.EMPOWERMENT- The authority to local people through decentralization and
confidence building.

13. 13
12.SELF CRITICAL AWARENESS- Mistakes are lessions to learn and to do
better next time.
PRA TOOLS:
 DirectObservation: Observation are related to questions: what? When?
Where?who?why?how?
 Do It Yourself: Villagers are encouraged to teach the students hoe to do various
activities.we will learn how much skill & strength are required to do day-to-day
rural activities,gaining an insider’s perspective on a situation .Roles are reversed.
 ParticipatoryMapping & Modelling: Using local materials,villagers draw or
model current or historical conditions.
 Socialmap: It seeks to explore special dimensions of people realities.The focus here
is on the deplication of habitation patterns,nature of housing and social
infrastructure like roads,drainage system,schools,drinking water facilities etc.
 Rsource map: Resourcemap is a free open sourcetool that helps us to make better
discissions by giving better insight in to the location and distribution of resources
like land ,hill,river,fields,vegetation etc.
 TransectWalks :The students conducta walking tour through areas of interest to
observe, to listen, to identify different zones or conditions, and to ask questions to
identify problems and possiblesolutions. With this method, the outsider can
quickly learn about topography, soils, land use, forests, watersheds, and
community assets.
 Hydrology map:Hydrology map is the total water bodies of that area.
 SeasonalCalenders:Variables such as rainfall, labor, income, expenditures, debt,
animal fodder or pests, and harvesting periods can be drawn (or created with
stones, seeds, and sticks) to show month-to-month variations and seasonal
constraints and to highlight opportunities for action. An 18-month calendar can
better illustrate variations than a 12-month calendar.
 Daily –Activities Profiles :Researchers can explore and compare the daily-activity
patterns of men, women, youth, and elders by charting the amount of time taken to
complete tasks.
 Semi –Structured Interviewing :A semi structured interviewing and listening
technique uses some predetermined questions and topics but allows new topics to
be pursued as the interview develops. The interviews are informal and
conversational but carefully controlled.

14. 14
 Types,Sequencing,& Chain Interviews:Individual, pair, and group interviews are
combined in a sequence to take advantage of key informants and specialist groups.
 Permanent-Group-Interviews:Established groups, farmers' groups, or people using
the same water sourcecan be interviewed together. This technique can help
identify collective problems or solutions.
 Time Lines:Major historical community events and changes are dated and listed.
Understanding the cycles of change can help communities focus on future actions
and information requirements.
 LocalHistories :Local histories are similar to time lines but give a more detailed
account of how things have changed or are changing. For example, histories can be
developed for crops, population changes, community health trendsand epidemics,
education changes, road developments, and trees and forests.
 Venn Diagrams:To show the relationship between things, overlapping circles are
used to represent people, villages, or institutions; lines are added to reflect inputs
and outputs.
 ParticipatoryDiagramming :People are encouraged to display their knowledge on
pie and bar charts and flow diagrams.
 Wealth & Well-Being Rankings:Peopleare asked to sort cards (or slips of paper)
representing individuals or households from rich to pooror from sick to healthy.
This technique can be used for crosschecking information and for initiating
discussions on a specific topic (for example, poverty). The technique can also be
used to producea benchmark against which future development interventions can
be measured or evaluated.
 Cause-Effectdiagram- The cause-effect diagram also known as rootcause analysis
presents visually the causes,effects and their linkage,which help in arriving at an
indepth understanding of a particular topic and provide scopefor analysis and
subsicuent action by the local people.
 Diagrams Exhibhition:Diagrams, maps, charts, and photos of the research activity
are displayed in a public place to share information, facilitate discussions, and
provide an additional crosschecking device. The exhibition can inspire other
villagers to take part in research activities.
 Field Report Writing: Key findings are recorded before "leaving" the village.
(This assumes that the community has consented to having the research data leave
the village.) Brief summaries are made of each diagram, model, and map, as well
as of the process involved in creating them.

RAPPORT BUILDING
Rapportbuilding is an important task for the team for collecting reliable
information. It is usually done to develop communications and to establish
working relationships with the local people. Generally, rapport building is initiated
immediately as the team enters a village. This may help the team to bring closer to
the village people. The team should follow the following steps suggested by
Pokharel et al (1997) for conducing PRA in rural areas:
 Start talking to the rural people saying “local Hello” whenever you meet them, for
example, on the trail, agricultural fields, tea shops, homes etc.
 Treat and respect rural people as per their local custom
 Ask the knowledgeable people about a subject or area in a village .
 Clearly explain reasons for coming to the area.
 Show genuine interest in the local issues .
 Choosetime and venue that are convenient for the local people .
GUIDELINESOF PRA:-
BEFORE:
 Meet the villagers with an open and frank mind. Tell them who you are and
why you come here.
 Build up personalrapport with villagers.
 Identify the villagers who are willing to share their experience.
 Show full interest and enthusiasm.
 Always begin the interview by relaxing the tension of interviewee by asking
general questions and setting the climate for discussion.
 Select suitable place for the interview, sit down with the villagers on the
same floor.
DURING:
 Listen carefully, show empathy and be patient.
 Intense and careful observation is most important.
 Do not interrupt, suggest or prescribe.
 Be polite, gentle and accommodative.
 Try to adjust villagers as human being.
 Head nodding during interview in approval or in disapproval should be
avoided.
 Try to follow existing social customs of the village.
 Participate wholeheartedly.

24. 24
 Accept villagers offers of hospitality.
 There is no point in getting important or becoming too much inquisitive when
the villagers discuss among themselves.
 Lead towards sensitive and important issue using open ended questions.
 Asking too many questions at atime should be avoided.
 Take details note of the answerts and on the process discussion and
information generation.
 Quick sketch of subject under study or innovation of the villagers may be
drawn.
 Individuals trying to dominate the discussionshould be prevented carefully.
 Do not prolong the group interview unnecessarily.
 Revolve the discussion around the main issue without blocking
spontaneously.
 Change of topic should be smooth.
 The interviewing group should not generally have more than 4 to 5 people.
 Use what, which, when, where, who, why and how to rehearse the question.
AFTER:
 At the end of the interview all the interviewers must be thanked individually
by the members of the intervening group for giving time and sharing theirr
experience.
 Sit down with all members and record all the information collected and the
process ofinformation generation.

SOCIAL MAP
Social map is used to study social structure, stratification and availability of
social facilities and also helps the facilitators to understand the basic situations and
social dynamics of the village.It is used to present information on village layout,
social infrastructure, demography, language-religion-culture groups, health,
wealth, other, etc. This provides an overview of the socio-economic aspect.
OBJECTIVES:
 To learn about the social structures in the village and the differences among
the households by ethnicity, religion and wealth.
 To learn about who is living where.
 To learn about the social institutions and the different views local people
might have regarding those institutions.
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE;-
• We found the members of the community who know and who are willing to
be a part of it.
• walked with the participants and established compass direction at the
boundaries on the village areas .
• we Explained the purposeof the exercise to the participants and requested
them to start off. Leave them to use whatever the materials they choose.
• We Watched the process alertly. Listened the discussions carefully
• Tooknotes in as much detail as possible .
• Try to hand over the stick to them.
• We Observed who are actively involved. Encouraged and facilitated others
who are not able to say anything.
• Once mapping is over asked them to identify their houses in the map.
• Numbered the households and marked different households according to the
need.
• Triangulated the information generated with others in the locality .

27. 27
APPLICATIONS-
• Developing a comprehensive understanding of the physical and social
aspects of community
• Collecting demographic and other required information household wise
• Providing a forum of discussionin which to unravel the various aspects of
social life
• Serving as a guiding instrument during the process ofplanning intervention
• Serving as a monitoring and evaluation tool.

RESOURCEMAP
Resourcemapping can be used as an effective ice breaking exercise as well as a
tool to investigate the knowledge of the people about their own locality, their
resources and their spatial distribution.
Resourcemapping can help communities:
 Identify valuable resources
 Ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need
 Avoid duplication of services and resources
 Enhance services Identify flexible funding strategies
 Use data to make informed decisions
 Cultivate new partnerships and relationships
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE:-
The activity started in the morning, at around 9:30am. PEOPLE were
requested to gather At the schooolwhere the mapping process was scheduled to take
place. Many of them stopped there and joined the mapping process. There was a
little confusion among the villagers in the beginning, how to do the mapping and the
facilitator had to explain many times to them and every time new people joined the
team. The sample map and the list of legends were very helpful in explaining the
process to them. After this initial pushfrom the side of facilitator, there was an active
participation from the part of villagers and the entire mapping was done by them.
People from all age groups contributed equally.

TREND ANALYSIS
Trend analysis is a popular PRA method used to explore temporal dimensions
with a focus on change. It captures and trends related to certain variables over
different spans of time.
 It can provide a good idea of the quantitative changes over time in different
aspects of village life, such as yields, population, livestock population, the
number of trees, area under cultivation, rainfall, etc.
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE:-
 We have explained to the villagers about the purpose of the exercise&
discussed on the present situation and set the climate for trend analysis.
 We have encouraged the local people to depict interested aspects for trend
analysis& facilitated the discussion further to arrive at the aspects of trend
analysis.
 Also facilitated the selection oftime landmarks across which the trends could
be studied. Encouraged the participants to depict the selected landmark years
on cards preferably by symbols of visuals and so on.
 We have asked participants to make the matrix on the ground, using chalk
&to represent from left to right the landmark years and from top to bottom
various aspects like density of trees, grass, wild animals, etc.,
 We have allowed the participants to use different symbols in the
relevant cell like visuals, seeds, sticks, sand, etc., according to their
choice.
Objectives:-
 Learn from the community as to how they perceive change over time in
various areas/aspects of their live.

44. 44
 Integrate significant changes in the village profile.
 Discuss village problems and any increase or decrease in the severity of the
problems over the years rather that asking direct questions.

SEASONALITY ANALYSIS
 Seasonality is an important and useful exercise to determine seasonal patterns in
rural areas as related to rainfall, farming practices, employment,wokload etc. In
seasonality an attempt is made to determine the seasonal calendar as understood
and practiced by the villagers.
PURPOSE:
 To get an insight into the seasonal variations in a number of parameters relevant
in farmer’s lives e.g. work, employment, income, and availability of food, fuel,
fodders, health, migration and transport facilities.
 It has proved to be useful in project planning i.e when to inpliment various
activities.
 It has been used to identify periods of stress and to plan for when intervention is
most required.
 It is possible and analysis the livelihood patterns across the year.

CONCLUSION-
MATRIX RANKING
Matrix ranking is a tool used to supportpeople to identify and priorities events or
problems by assessing their views relative imp.using a set of criteria.it involves
listening the elements down oneside and the criteria on which they are judged
,gained from informal discussion .each element is then considered in terms of each
criteria.
 It helps in understanding people’s choices and priorities in a particular
situation and their reasons for it
 Helps in determining the compatibility of certain items in a given
environment of overall perspective
PROCEDURE:-
 We identified the topic then a discussionwas initiated with the individuals or
group and clearly explained them the purpose of the exercise.

50. 50
 In next step we generated criteria for assessmentand discussed them with the
participants and decided upon a few important ones.
 Then we sketched a matrix with the items/options top to bottom and criteria
left to right. The comparisons are made criterion-wise and not item-wise.
 Then, we ranked and scored against all the items according to the criterion
had been chosen.
 Then it was repeated until all of the criteria have been ranked and scored in
this way.
 Then these are recorded properly.
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE:-
Step 1: I Started by discussing the topic with the villagers and ask the villagers to
list all the varieties of Greens currently raised/cultivated in the Village
•I Placed the varieties in the first colum.
Step 2: I Discuss some criteria to compare these varieties in the top row
•I also Prepared some simple criteria in advance .
•By asking farmers about what is ‘good’ about each variety or activity— I use the
different answers as my column headings
Step 3:
• Then I Conduct the scoring exercise with the farmer.
•I Ranked each of the varietiesof green leaves based on each of the criteria (1 =
highest ranking)
Step 4: I Counted and tally the results to identify the most preferred one.
Step 5:I Reviewed the results and scores with the farmers.
Step6:I had Writen theresults on the A4 paper (to replace the local materials ) and
transfer the results to an A4 sheet.
CONCLUSION:-
VENN DIAGRAM
Definition: - The diagram which shows the relationship of various institutions,
organizations, programs or individuals with each other & with the village as
perceived by the villagers is called as Venn diagram.
Purpose:-

51. 51
 To identify groups, institutes operating in the community & show their
interactions.
 To discover the importance on decision making in community.
 To show the accessibility of the institutes.
The exercise is carried out by the help of villagers with use of different
sizes ofcircle of paper which indicates the relative importance or accessibility of
a particular institution or individual to that particular village.
 According to the opinion of villagers, various institutions those mostly
influence them and their activity are –
a) Primary school
b) Secondary school
c) Kissan mandi
d) Bank
e) Post office
f) Local market
g) College
h) Hospital
i) Fertiliser shop
j) Police station
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE:-
 We all the group 12 BOYS Listed all the institutions in the community and
discuss importance of each institution and what they do.
 Then we Make different sized circles and not which circle represents each
institution i.e. big circle very important and decision maker, small circle with
little importance.

WEALTH RANKING
PRA method commonly used for ranking and grouping household and
communities on the basis of income,wealth and other perceicive well-being
criteria.wellbeing ranking is based on the perception of the local people.
OBJECTIVS:-
 To identify and classify households or groups based on relative wellbeing in
the areas of income,wealth,assets and status etc.
 To explore issues related to livelihood,vulnerability,constraints to develop as
people perceive them and to design intervention strategies in time with
peoples aspiration.

MOBILITY MAP
 Mobility map is a PRA method used to explore the movement pattern of an
individual, a group, or the community.
 The focus is on where people go and for what.
 Other aspects, like the frequency of visits, distance, and the importance of
the place visited, may also be studied and depicted.
 It reflects the people’s perception of movement patterns and the reasons
there of.
OBJECTIVES:-
 Understanding the mobility pattern of local people where they go and for
what, Increasing gender sensitivity and awareness by using them for
highlighting the difference between the mobility patterns of men and
women.
 Evaluation of the impact of certain interventions in terms of their effects on
mobility patterns.
 Planning for intervention and projects.
INFORMATION ELICITED FROM THE MOBILITY MAP:-
A. Places
B. Purpose
C. Direction
D. Distance
E. Mode
F. frequency
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE:-
 We have selected the person, group or community whose mobility pattern
we are interested in understanding.
 We have explained the purposeof the exercise and initiated a discussion on
the places they visit & the places are listed down. As they close the list, we
have asked them whether they would like to add some more or delete any of
the places in the list.

56. 56
 We have asked them to write the name of the places on small pieces of paper
in bold letters& encouraged them to depict the places using symbols or
visuals, particularly if the participants are non literate.
 We have drawn a circle in the middle of a paper or ground, representing the
village/locality and asked them to locate the pieces of paper with the names
of the places they visit around the circle in such a way that they are properly
represented.
 We have asked them to link the cards representing the places
visited with the circle depicting their locality by lines & the
thickness of the lines could represent a particular feature, such as,
the frequency of the visits.
 By following a similar process, forall other places that they visit done one
by one.
 Also encouraged them to represent other aspects in the form of visuals,
symbols or in writing.
 Brainstorm and arrive at the aspects which could be represented including.
- Purpose of visiting the places
- Importance of the places visited
- Distance of the places
- Mode of transport
- Frequency of visits
- Whether alone or with someone
 We have asked them whether they would like to make any alterations once
the diagram is ready&requested them to explain the map and their learning
from it in detail.
 We have clarified your doubts by asking probing questions.
 We have listened carefully to their discussion and any necessary notes were
taken.
 The diagram was copied in detail & triangulated the diagram and other
details generated during discussions with others in the locality.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION & PRIORITIZATION
It is a chart showing different problems affecting a village which have been
prioritized on the basis of ranks that each of them obtain after taking into account
parameters like problems, importance of enterprise, frequency of problem,
seriousness of each of the problems.
PURPOSE:
 This is a method of participatory community need assessment and problem
analysis. It used the illustration of a rough road, which is like the progress of
the community.
 The village has many problems with its activities that hinder their progress.
 The meeting is designed to find out more about all the things we enjoy, and
particularly see what are the things hindering our progress in the village .
• Highlights the compounding causes and effects of a specific problems faced by
households in a Village
• Propose activities to overcome some of the causes and effects of problem faced
by households in a Village
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE:-
The main problems were prioritized by discussing with the villagers.
The problems are listed the importance of enterprise, seriousness of problem
were given scoreaccording to the villagers information. Then the scoregiven to
each parameter were added and the total scorewas calculated. According to the
total scorethe problems were prioritized & ranked.
The imp.problems identified are

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a tool to help identify what, how, and why an
event occurred so that steps can be taken to prevent future occurrences. Additionally,
RCAmay beused to target opportunities for system wise improvement. Rootcauses
are specific underlying causes that can be reasonably identified, are within
management's controlto remedy, and which generate effective recommendations to
prevent recurrences. The RCA process involves data collecting, causal factor
charting, root cause identification, and recommendation generation.it is importantly
done after problem prioritization and identification.all the broblems are not
considered for rootcause analysis but the highly ranked problems are considered for
it.
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE;-
I have taken the broblem that the Low productivity in upland kharif.I have
gathered some villagers to know about the actual causes of less productivity in
upland.Then I came to know that they mostly use traditional varieties,heavy weed
infestation,low fertility status,application ofimbalance fertilizers and alos due to use
of long duration varieties.

EXPERIENCEGAINED DURING RAWE

62. 62
RAWE is an exposure programme conducted to make the
agricultural student acquainted with the real field situation. To
test the feasibility of knowledge gained during class room
teaching and its application in the farmer’s field.
From orientation programme to till submission of report every
moment in RAWE has been exciting, exploring, enlighting, enriching,
adventurous and unforgettable.
The following aspects of RAWE programme help me a lot these
are:-
 It helped me a lot in experiencing the real facts of
agriculrure which we only learn in books.
 it gives immense pleasure when we give some solution to
the farmer
 We identified various productive resources and suggested
them how they can earn more.

Improved communication skill by interaction with the host
farmer and other farmer during the village activities and also
during the presentation of maps in the classroom and other
extension activities.

Feedback and interaction with the farmers and guidance and
suggestions of our multidisciplinary team of supervisors help
us to redefine extension service necessary for all round
development of the village.

It offers an opportunity to gain experience of rural area, rural
people, their social structure, values, livelihood and culture for
making extension work successful.

It includes team spirit, working in group, cooperation
between group members, time management and logical
approach to problems.
