Community Science, Department of Home Science, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), visited Quarsi Krishi Farm Parisar to participate in the Krishi Gyan Sangoshthi / Kisan Mela organized under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.

During the visit, students conducted a practical survey among farmers to raise awareness about diverse farming systems and agriculture-based livelihood enterprises. The exercise also helped them understand the real-life challenges faced by farmers in managing farming systems and allied activities.
Commenting on the visit, Prof. Saba Khan, Chairperson of the Department, stressed that through direct interaction with the farming community, students gained valuable insights into issues related to production, marketing, and sustainability of farming enterprises. This hands-on experience not only enhanced their practical knowledge but also sensitized them to the importance of addressing farmers’ concerns for promoting sustainable agricultural livelihoods.
