The idea is to empower those engaged in agriculture and also those keen on taking it up as a profession or hobby.
Led by Sathyamurthy, a lecturer from Mandya, the seven-member group, all teachers from families of farmers, decided to open the school after seeing the plight of farmers during last year's drought and Covid-19 pandemic, and also considering various problems, including the increasing number of suicides by farmers. The aim of the group is to make agriculture lucrative and farmers self-reliant in all aspects. This will help prevent migration of youngsters from villages to cities in search of jobs and also farmers from selling their land.
