Educating Farmers about modern farming techniques: NCRTC

Recently the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) had organised training and skill development camps for farmers in the districts of Ghaziabad and Meerut. Through these camps NCRTC wanted to teach farmers on utilising modern farming techniques to their advantage. The aim of this program was to raise awareness about modern farming techniques and boost the skills of the farmers.

One technique that was focused on during this training was on how to grow plants through hydroponics. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants in a water based mineral solution instead of soil. This program talked about how growing plants through hydroponics can lead to a higher yield which can then further increase the earnings of farmers.

I find this training absolutely amazing as farmers are the key backbones of our society - they help produce the food that we live on. If we don't train them and help build their capacity then the development of society would be very efficient. Along with this a growing population also demands for a higher amount of food production, and this can also be achieved using these modern farming techniques.
