The Krishi Gram Vikas Kendra (KGVK) located at Rukka near Ranchi is the CSR unit of Usha Martin Ltd in Jharkhand has established the
Green College managed by KGVK with the support of Usha Martin as part of the project Green Innovation Center
in the Agriculture and Food Sector, funded by the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. Facilitated by
Welthungerhilfe and the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit
(GIZ).
The Green College focuses on training rural youth from Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal on green trades. The courses combine the traditional wisdom of these communities with modern scientific knowledge to help small producers grow into `ecopreneurs’ and to have better access to business development skills, technology, finance and market. Set up on a Public Private Partnership model, the Rukka Green College is managed by KGVK and supported through the CSR initiative of Usha Martin Ltd. It expects to train 3000 youth members by 2017. it also offers courses on System of Root Intensification, Integrated Farming System, Animal Health and Dairy Entrepreneurship.
The German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Dr Gerd Mueller, visited today our Green College in Rukka, Jharkhand, and awarded trainees with their course certificate! The ceremony was opened by Jharkhand Agriculture Minister Shri Randhir Kumar Singh.
“The agriculture of the future will be an agriculture of knowledge” said the Minister, at the end of the visit. “Green schools are a model of success,” he continued, highlighting the relevance of this partnership, with a local NGO, Welthungerhilfe, the private sector as the main investor, research institutions and the government. In his opinion, innovative partnerships like the one in the college of KVGK are most important to reach all farmers and provide the youth a perspective and employment opportunity.

In his walk around the Green College, the
Minister stopped to observe the trainees in action, asking them many
questions about the different green trades they are learning. The son of
a dairy farmer himself, he particularly enjoyed the visit to the dairy
plant – as well as the yogurt produced by KGVK from their organic-fed
cows!
