Students from three top universities, including one from the United States of America, visited the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) here, as part of the International Agriculture and Rural Development Program of Cornell University, located in the state of New York, USA.
A total of 50 students and faculty members of Cornell University; the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad; and Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, were here on January 11 as part of their cross-country learning tour.
The group was divided into three specializations – agricultural systems, rural infrastructure, and value addition. They visited different research centres. The Cornell students had an interactive session with TNAU students regarding the areas of agricultural research in India and the USA, and the challenges faced by Indian farmers.
The students learned about the transfer of technology initiatives in the e-Extension, Kisan call centres and Community Radio station. They were taught about the various food processing techniques. They also interacted with the Vice-Chancellor, K. Ramasamy.
