As part of attracting young people to farming, the Agriculture Department is introducing a new programme where Krishi Bhavans under the department will be open for internships. In a nutshell, the idea is to offer educated youth insights into the diverse aspects of the farming scenario in Kerala, including crop planning and raising, harvest, marketing, extension, and administration. The State government has given administrative sanction for ₹72 lakh for introducing the programme. A total of 1,077 interns will be engaged in the first batch in 2021-22, subject to a screening at the level of the Principal Agricultural Officers (PAO) and Krishi Bhavans.
