3. Certificate in Poultry Farming (CPF) (19 Credits)

   Poultry Farming has been one of the most important subsidiary occupations of the farming community in India. Poultry Farming is a remunerative business both in rural and urban areas due to the requirement of small space, low capital investment and quick return throughout the year. It has a significant role in the eradication of malnutrition and poverty as well as eliminating unemployment and under-employment among the rural masses. However, due to lack of modern and updated method of farming, farmers are practicing their own way which has been found to be non-productive and not commercially viable. The present programme aims to impart knowledge and skill to make Poultry Farming a viable business. The target group includes: Rural youth, Women, Farmers and Entrepreneurs.

4. Certificate in Bee Keeping (CBK) (20 Credits)

   There is always an increasing demand for honey across the world. Most of the honey is collected from wild resources (forest) and a limited population is engaged to rear bees. Due to limited technical knowledge and poor infrastructure, honey production is less than what is possible. A great potential exists in this area, where we may establish this unorganised sector into an organised one for the betterment of the society. At village level, successful honey production provides nutritional and economic security and also empowerment to the farmers, farm women, and rural youth. Beekeeping also helps conserve the natural resources. There is a need to impart improved technical know-how to the traditional beekeepers in order to facilitate the adoption of improved technologies available in this area. The certification may be required to the beekeeper to seek any financial help from any bank, nongovernmental or government agencies, etc.
