VJIM Students Explore Organic Farming and Rural Development at DRNVJIRD

March 5, 2025: In the year 2024-25, the Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management (VJIM) embarked on a journey to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world practice. The institute launched its transformative Rural Immersion Program, offering students an invaluable opportunity to connect with rural India. Dr. Amanat Husain, Assistant Professor in Agribusiness at VJIM, is the faculty coordinator for the rural immersion program which is aimed to provide students with firsthand exposure to the agricultural landscape and its challenges. The program was not only supported by academic faculty but also received significant involvement from the senior leadership of the institute. This active involvement from the leadership team reflected VJIM's commitment to providing a well-rounded and enriching educational experience for its students.

The immersion program welcomed students from the 31st and 32nd batches, with a total strength of 510 participants. Another major highlight was a visit to the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). At the KVK, students learned about the vital role these centres play in offering training, demonstrations, and advisory services to farmers. They also discovered the cutting-edge agricultural technologies and research innovations that KVKs promote, along with the extension services they provide, such as village outreach programs and Kisan Melas.
