Agriculture Training to PWDs
Before entering into a new venture even if it is to be small-scale enterprise, a person needs to have sufficient knowledge of the work involved in order to make the business successful. In several cases, training is needed in order to learn more about the technical aspect and procedures that will ensure success. This training is often not readily available to persons with disabilities. Several vocational training centres will not accept persons with disabilities because they assume that such person will slow down the learning process of other participants. Financing the necessary training is therefore another issue that cannot be ignored. How much does it cost? Who will Finance it? With the financial help of CBM, SCD took initiative to provide agriculture training to PwD farmers for their food security. 25nos of PWDs farmers were taken agriculture training at SCD. They are practicing same till date and getting benefit.
