Future Agriculture Leaders of India Details
FALI is rooted in the Action Platform's research which indicates that most children and their parents do not want the next generation to go into agriculture, largely because they see it as an unpromising activity, based upon the experience of India's many small and marginal farmers. FALI aims to both turn around the perception of students and their parents and prepare young people to succeed in modern farming and agro-enterprise.FALI, with full time management and Agriculture Educators, operating under the supervision of the Action Platform Team and Steering Committee, was piloted in six government aided rural schools of Maharashtra from November 2014 to April 2015. In its Phase 6 (2019-20) FALI is operational in 123 schools, 111 in Maharashtra and 12 in Gujarat. FALI focuses on interactive learning and problem solving, practicums, field visits, business plans and business development. FALI is inspired by the successful Future Farmers of America program, adapted to Indian realities. The five leading Action Platform companies which sponsor the project -Godrej Agrovet, UPL, Bayer, Jain Irrigation and StarAgri—participated in curriculum development and provide us in-kind contributions such as shade nets, drip irrigation, soil and milk testing to the schools, helped organize field trips and practicums, and regularly participate and host the FALI annual convention, innovation and business plan contest. FALI also operates on a cost sharing agreement with Asia's largest education society, Rayat Shikshan Sanstha, Satara in 30 of their schools and with Swades Foundation in four schools in Raigad district.
