Prayagraj,

24 Sept (HS): The Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Prayagraj, successfully organized a

five-day training program on Mushroom Production Techniques for the

benefit of farmers. Farmers and rural youth from various villages participated

enthusiastically in this training program. During the training, Training

Coordinator Dr. R.P. Singh provided detailed information on oyster mushroom and

button mushroom production techniques. Participants received hands-on training

on the entire mushroom production process – from seed selection, food medium

preparation, production techniques, pest management, packaging, and marketing.

At

the conclusion of the program, Dr. Mukesh P. Masih, the center's in-charge,

stated that mushroom production is a profitable and employment-oriented

agricultural enterprise, one that farmers can adopt to significantly increase

their income. Participants also pledged to apply the knowledge gained from this

training to their farms and turn it into a source of additional income. This

type of training is an important step towards making rural youth and farmers

self-reliant.
