RAWE PROGRAMME: AN INTRODUCTION
RAWE PROGRAMME:-
The word “RHWEP” stands for Rural Horticulture Work Experience Programme , it
is basically awareness to Agriculture graduates about the actual situation and status of the
farmers and farming practices.
This programme was first time started in agricultural Universities of the state Andhra
Pradesh in the year 1979. With a view to giving the real-life exposure to the students the
Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKVV) Raipur has also introduced this programme
to the students of 7th Semester B.Sc (Ag.) from 1993-94 by the former vice-chancellor - Dr.
Kirti singh, Dean college of Agriculture Raipur , Dr. B.R. Chandrawanshi and Dr. P.N
Sharma.
This Programme is a sequel of the recommendation made by the ‘Randhawa
Committee’ constituted by ICAR.
RHWEP is Experiential learning approach towards problem solving and improving
interaction with the world outside. The learning process essentially provides a direction to the
students to think and act and eventually creates self-confidence.
It helps the students develop their competence, capability, capacity building, skills,
expertise, in short a holistic development. However, it requires an individual’s total
commitment, involvement, participation, reception, active interest, dedication, skill, curiosity,
vision and mission.
Under the changing dynamics of economical and industrial growth agriculture has
undergone a sea change with new approaches.
Agricultural education needs to be evolved in a very rapid manner to meet the expectation
of the society. Though the students of agriculture are learning substantial basic and applied
issues of science and technology, they do not possess adequate confidence in starting own
commercial venture. Under this situation, Rural Horticultural Work Experience Programme
(RHWEP) is an important competence and confidence building Programme introduced in
some of the SAUs in India.
We the students of College of Horticulture ,Rajnandgaon 2016-17 batch were allotted
village- Nathunawagaon. This report is being submitted by us as a record of our group’s
activities as a RAWEP student Vipin Kumar Patel to the programme officer.
