Abstract:
RAWE is one of the best means to produce well-trained agricultural graduates with broad-based knowledge and techniques to meet emerging challenges (Kapri et al.). An experiential learning approach towards problem-solving and improving interaction with the world outside has been followed. The learning process essentially provides a direction to the students to think and act and eventually creates self-confidence. It helps the students to develop their competence, capability, capacity building, skills, and expertise, in short, a holistic development (Sajeev et al.). For this study, the interview scheduled method was adopted. The study was conducted in the SAS Nagar district of North-Eastern Punjab. Three villages Hasanpur, Kalewal, and Singhpurawere selected was this purpose. A total of 140 farmers were interviewed from the three villages. Basics questions were asked of the farmers, and the data was recorded. Then an animated video was shown to the farmers regarding soil sampling, questions were asked again after the video, and data was recorded. A gain in knowledge was seen in farmers. An improved response was received after seeing the video clip. The mean percentage was calculated for data before and after the showing of the video. Afterward, a percentage change was calculated and 0.948 was the result observed.
