Interns from GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology at Pantnagar (67 boys and 45 girls all final year students from the B.Sc Agriculture programme) came to Madhuban, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, from October to December 2023, in three batches.

They visited the homes of Khushali Women and interacted with them. They did shramdaan at the Ashram alongside the sadhaks in the Ashram farms and orchards. Through demonstrations and discussions, they imparted advice on integrated farming practices, organic farming, horticulture, drip irrigation and ways of protecting their fields from depredations by wild animals. They have shared their experiences through power point presentations and reading materials. The Head of the Department of Agronomy and faculty have invited Ashram sadhaks for a visit to Pantnagar during the Kisan Mela in March 2024 and offered technical assistance for the Hariyali programme.
