With the cost of production in agriculture going up significantly making the youth to shun farming, the Telangana Government has decided to start a three-month certificate course to teach the youth how to reduce expenditure and increase incomes.
The course, which does not offer any job opportunities, is aimed at equipping the youth with tools to face the challenges that make farming activity a difficult proposition. The Government organised a meeting here on Saturday in which about 80 young farmers from different parts of the State attended.
The Department of Agriculture officials have taken feedback from the youth on the problems they faced.
The Director of Extension at the Prof. Jayashankar Agriculture University, Raji Reddy, said that the course would have classes on the farm management and efficient use of water.
“The Government will create a dedicated website to make the information handy for the farmers,” a Government official said after the meeting.
