Seminar at FET CentreSeminar at FET Centre• Objectives of FET• Observations as to how this kind of investigation
helps Scientist-trainees in their scientific career and to serve the rural people more effectively, especially for taking up need based projects in the future.
• Methodology : PRA approach• Salient findings / observations of the village study• Indigenous technical knowledge documented during
the village study for their validation• General problems of the farmers of the study village
and the top-most researchable problem identified among the GI producers.
• Learning experience gained• Note: Record the feedback for annexing the same in
the FET group report besides suitably revising the report in the light of the interactions and feedback.
