TRAINING FOR NURSERY FARMERS OF PATTOKI

Khushhali Microfinance Bank holds quarterly training for farmers in rural areas for the promotion of agriculture. This training is part of CSR initiatives undertaken by the Bank to promote small farmers. In an agri-based economy like Pakistan, initiatives for the uplift of small farmers can help contribute towards the development of national economy. 

These trainings are held free-of-cost for small local farmers to help them overcome the issue of less than optimal productivity due to limited access to updated farming knowledge. The training was held in Pattoki on the topic of "Nursery Management" on November 10, 2018. Pattoki belt near Lahore is known for one of the country's largest clusters of flower, fruit and decorative plant nurseries. Training was delivered by Dr. Hafiz ur Rehman, NARC Nursery management expert. About 100 local nursery farmers attended the event.
