A study was conducted to assess the training needs, preference and constraints of small and marginal farmers of Bareilly District of Uttar Pradesh. Fifty poultry farmers were selected using snowball sampling technique from the Bhojipura Block of Bareilly district. They were interviewed with structured schedule prepared beforehand. Data on training needs were analysed based on Training Need Index of each major and minor farm operation. Training preference were analysed using percentage score and the constraints using mean score Out of the major operations studied farmers preferred housing as the one in which they require training needs. Knowledge and financial needs were also very much relevant to the farmers. Farmers preferred on farm neighbourhood training, in forenoon and in the months between March and May. Farm visit is the most desired method of training as perceived by the farmers. Feeding and breeding problems were the chief constraints perceived by the farmers.Keywords

Agricultural education is crucial to produce skilled human resources to take up present and emerging challenges faced by Indian agriculture. Over the last decade, agricultural higher education attractiveness has improved due to access to quality education, attractiveness in employment market, and widening career opportunities across social and geographical areas. While continuing to provide better quality and more relevant education in agriculture, ICAR, in association with World Bank, initiated National Agricultural Higher Education Project (NAHEP) in 2017. The project development objective is to enhance the quality and relevance of agricultural higher education in the country. NAHEP has also adopted social inclusion by providing national and international training to student and faculty. In addition, various special initiatives are being undertaken to enable access to the essential amenities for differently abled, female students and faculties. To take it forward and make it sustainable, this article also suggests key measures.Keywords

National Agricultural Higher Education Project (NAHEP) is implemented by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Government of India and World Bank to strengthen the national agricultural higher education system in India with an overall objective of providing more relevant and high-quality education to agricultural university students. Environment safeguard measures are one of the inbuilt components under the project and are categorized as ‘Category B’ as per the environmental safeguard policy of the World Bank. Thus, the interventions proposed under the project offer scope for enhancing the positive impacts on the environment through integrating pro-environmental measures. Based on the project proposal, the participating agricultural universities (AUs) prepared ‘Environmental sustainability plans’ comprising legal compliances and mitigation measures, green initiatives, and education and awareness programmes. The present article studied the impact of green initiatives undertaken by the universities under the categories of energy conservation, water conservation, waste management and enhancing greenery. Data on these activities were collected from project-awarded AUs that introduced environmental pro initiatives. These green initiatives were measured in terms of the reduction of CO2 emissions (tonnes) annually and presented in the form of the carbon footprint of the university campus.Keywords
