The exposure visit was organised under the Integrated Fish Farming Project, with financial support from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), Tripura Regional Office, Agartala.

Their presentations highlighted innovative and cost-effective farming techniques that can improve productivity while conserving natural resources.
The participating farmers also visited various demonstration units at KVK, where they observed successful models of integrated farming and gained practical insights into improved agricultural technologies and best management practices suitable for rural communities.
Debashis Majumder, President of Yuva Vikash Kendra, accompanied the farmers throughout the exposure visit and encouraged them to adopt scientific and sustainable farming methods to enhance income, food security, and long-term resilience.
Speaking on the occasion, Majumder stated that exposure visits play a vital role in bridging the gap between scientific research and field-level implementation.
