To think together in India！！

SCSAD　- Special Course in Sustainable Agriculture and Development -

At MSCNFE in Allahabad, we accept 10-15 students every year for a 10 months program, where they learn about sustainable and developmental agriculture. Students gather not only from India, but also from Nepal, Myanmar, and other countries around India, and live together in a cross-cultural environment. To make this a learning environment even for young novices, we are not necessarily looking for those with technical skills in certain fields, but rather, for those with flexible characteristics that are necessary in working in developmental projects in villages in developing countries. Thus, the applicants may be inexperienced in agriculture and developmental projects. Please contact the office if you are interested.
