Updated on: September 20, 2025

The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, SGT University, Gurugram organized an Educational Exposure Visit to Saras Aajeevika Mela 2025 on 19 September 2025 (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM) at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, New Delhi. The visit aimed to provide students with hands-on exposure to rural development initiatives, women’s empowerment models, and self-help group (SHG) enterprises. It helped them understand the functioning of SHGs, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and rural entrepreneurs, while also gaining awareness of value-added agricultural products, organic farming practices, and government-supported livelihood promotion schemes. The visit had a significant impact as students developed practical knowledge of grassroots-level entrepreneurship, enhanced their understanding of linkages between agriculture, rural development, and livelihoods, strengthened their motivation to engage in community development and agri-based startups, and found inspiration to integrate theoretical learning with real-world practices in rural development initiatives. The event was successfully coordinated by Dr. Manjeet Panwar and Dr. Bhawna.
