ITANAGAR: A group of 25 kiwi farmers from Yachuli and Ziro in Arunachal Pradesh's Keyi Panyor and Lower Subansiri districts, embarked on a three-day Capacity building for Adoption of Technology (CAT) visit, to Assam Agricultural University (AAU) in Jorhat on Sunday.

Yachuli additional deputy commissioner Suraj Gurung flagged off the farmers in presence of NABARD district development manager Dr Lalit Maurya, KVK Yachuli head and also senior scientist Dr Hage Munth and others. The visit, funded by NABARD and implemented by KVK Yachuli, aims to enhance farmers' knowledge of modern beekeeping techniques and its integration with kiwi cultivation to improve pollination, yield, and income.

The key area of focus will be on promoting beekeeping as a complementary activity under NABARD's farmer sector promotion fund.

The farmers will engage with experts and participate in hands-on training sessions, and witness advanced beekeeping and agricultural practices.

The initiative underscores NABARD's commitment to empowering farmers through technology-driven and sustainable agricultural practices.
