Dr. M. Aqil Khan and Rana Farman Ali imparted the training assisted by other CSISA staff. The training included both classroom instructions and field visits. Students were apprised of conservation agriculture, its needs and compulsions. The training covered the background situation created by the changing climatic scenario which is expected to exacerbate further in future. This together with rising food needs due to fast expanding population would seriously effect food situation in the country. The role of conservation in arresting deteriorating effects of climate and promoting cheap, simple and effective agriculture was discussed in length. Individual CA practices were separately explained. Various tools available at CSISA sites were also shown. A leaflet explaining the features and providing links to these tools was also provided to the trainees. Students were impressed and declared these presentations as wonderful, educative and something they were not exposed previously.
