Description

The first episode of Firey Chol Matir Taney went on air on Channel
i. Please have a broader idea on the programme below: Hridoye Mati
O Manush the agricultural mission of Channel i has taken a new
initiative to introduce the significance of agriculture and farmers
among the new generation as part of its many other initiatives
taken so far. The initiative is now known as ���Firey Chol Matir
Taney��� or ���Returning to Roots���. ���Agriculture is the main

agriculture development activist and media personality Shykh Seraj.

to give an overall idea on agriculture to the future
country-leaders���the new generation. As part of it urban students
will be taken to a remote village for three days and they���ll be
employed as farmers and labours. Through this programme they���ll

not wage discrimination and about farmers��� daily reality. This is
such a practical learning through which their conception psyche and
agricultural evaluation will transform radically. At field level
this initiative will turn into a full-fledged competition. This
programme will continue in different crop-seasons. Each event will
pick a winner and at the end of the year a final-round or
final-competition will be held. Their gathered experiences and
written research evaluation and surveys will be broadcast
nationwide and presented nationally. A set of recommendations will
be submitted to the government as a guideline for
