OUTSOURCING OF TRAINING:
There are four Farm Machinery Training & Testing Institutes in the country under the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation. They are located at Budni (Madhya Pradesh), Hissar (Haryana), Garladinne (Andhra Pradesh) and Biswanath Chariali (Assam). These training institutes are providing training to the farmers also but mostly the farmers of the same State or the nearby States are benefiting. To increase the canvas of training for farmers in the area of Agricultural Mechanization, a new initiative of outsourcing of training has been introduced during the Tenth Plan period and this has started from 2004-05. The aim is to train large number of farmers and to provide training facilities at nearby places. The training programme shall be arranged through the institutions such as State Agricultural Universities (SAU`s), Agricultural Engineering Colleges/Polytechnics etc. to be identified by the State Governments. The guidelines for the outsourcing of training have been issued to all State Government/Union Territories vide this Department’s letter No. 3-2/2004-My (I&P) dated 9th June 2004 (Annexure-I). There was a budget provision of Rs. 10.00 lakhs for the year 2004-05 and this has been released to the State Governments of Manipur, Goa, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. The state-wise details of amount released for the training courses may be seen at Annexure –II. As more proposals are in hand to cover more beneficiaries, an enhanced allocation has been proposed at RE stage.

Subject:
Identification of training institutions in different regions of the
State-Training thereof.
Sir,
You
would agree that the demand of trained manpower in the field of agriculture is
enormous. In order to streamline the process of farm mechanization to
increase productivity, production, income of the farmers, and at the same time
to conserve the inputs for crop production, it is necessary that the various
levels of man-power engaged in the area of agricultural mechanization is
imparted training and also exposed to refresher trainings for new technology
components.
1.
The remuneration to the training agencies/institutions would be at the
rate of upto Rs.2500 per trainee for training duration of one month and training
shall be organized in a batch of 2o to 25 farmers. The break-up of expenditures
per trainee for a training programme of one-month duration for 20 trainees has
been given in the table below. It
is, however, clarified that the funds would be released/reimbursed based upon
the actual number of trainees.

programmes indicated in Para 2 above. It is also suggested that beside the
training infrastructure, the institutions shall also have reasonable lodging
facilities for farmer trainees. The proposal for such Institutions and the
schedule of programme for training for the year 2004-05 may kindly be sent
to the Ministry at the earliest possible for further actions.
