Mukti started organic farming training for the farmers since 2009. Every year Mukti conducts almost 72 training sessions throughout 8 villages of Nagendrapur and Kankandighi Gram Panchayat. Each farmerneeds 3 such sessions to gather a complete knowledge about organic farming. But this year due to the pandemic, there is a disruption in this practice.
Mukti is grateful to “West Bengal SC, ST, OBC Development and Financial Development” who has helped Mukti to organize training classes for the farmers.
Organic trainers of Mukti SAM (Sustainable Agricultural Movement) project, Mr. Arabindo Mondal, Mr. Pintu Kumar Purakait along with other supportive members conducted the whole training program. Farmers of Nagendrapur and Kankandighi GP attended the session.

These sessions are conducted according to the farm timing, in between implantation and reaping of crops, when farmers get time to attend the training. Farmers can get help anytime they require from the land preparation to reaping of crops. They can contact Mukti directly or they can seek help from their nearby Mukti progressive farmers. Besides, Mukti field volunteers visit the sites regularly. Mukti distributes leaflet about the methods for organic farming written in Bengali to each of the framers who attend the training.
Mukti will arrange such training programs in future also.
