“The world is evolving and so is agriculture. You need to learn new techniques and also keep updated on the markets and its demands. This training will enable you to see agriculture in a different light as we now live in a competitive world," Mr Rayalu said.
"If you want to be successful in your respective farming ventures, then you need to do things right and of course be determined and believe that you are going to be the best farmer in your respective villages."
