AN INTRODUCTION
Experiential learning approaches towards problem solving and improving interaction
with the world outside. The learning process essentially provides a direction to the students
to think and act and eventually creates self-confidence.
It helps the students develop their Competence, Capability, Capacity building, Skills,
Expertise, in short a holistic development. However, it requires an individual’s total
commitment, involvement, participation, reception, active interest, dedication, skill,
curiosity, vision and mission.
Under the changing dynamics of economical and industrial growth Horticulture has
undergone a sea change with new approaches.
The word “RHWEP” stands for Rural Horticulture Work Experience Programme, it is
basically awareness to Horticulture graduates about the actual situation and status of the
farmers and farming practices.
Horticultural education needs to be evolved in a very rapid manner to meet the
expectation of the society. Though the students of Horticulture are learning substantial
basic and applied issues of science and technology, they do not possess adequate
confidence in starting own commercial venture.
Under this situation, Rural Horticultural Work Experience Programme (RHWEP) is an
important competence and confidence building Programme introduced in some of the SAUs
in India.
This Programme was first time started in agricultural Universities of the State
Andhra Pradesh in the year 1979. With a view to giving the real-life exposure to the
students the Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKVV) Raipur has also introduced this
programme to the students of 8th Semester B.Sc (Ag.) from 1993-94 by the former Vice-
Chancellor Dr. Kirti Singh, Dean College of Agriculture Raipur , Dr. B.R. Chandrawanshi and
Dr. P.N. Sharma Head of the Department of Extension.
This Programme is a sequel of the recommendation made by the ‘Randhawa
Committee’ constituted by ICAR.
We are the students of Pt. Kishori Lal Shukla College of Horticulture and
Research Station (I.G.K.V.V.), Rajnandgaon (C.G.) 2016-17 batch, were allotted Village –
Nathunawagaon,, Dist.-Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh.
