Parijat has been running pan India initiatives for several years to disseminate information and provide training to the farmer on the correct, safe, and judicious use of pesticides. We have recently published a Crop Protection Training Manual for Indian Farmers in 10 Indian languages apart from English as a part of the Parijat CSR initiative. The languages are Punjabi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, and Bengali. The manual has been designed in a very simple format so that it can be used by trainers in the field or classroom and various forums.

India has a very large number of Agriculture Extension Institutions where farmers and students get trained or educated in different aspects of agriculture. Therefore, it becomes extremely important that pesticide usage and safe handling information should be included in all related learning modules. This publication will go a long way as a teaching aid, that covers a complete range of issues on pesticide safety for farmers in their language.

Parijat has an ongoing project to distribute this book for free to a total of 610 Krishi Vigyan Kendras, agriculture institutions, and other sections of the agriculture eco-system present in 18 Indian States and Union Territories where Parijat has its presence.
