T.R. Kesavan, Group President – Corporate Relation and Alliances led the inaugural with his opening address. The facility was inaugurated by Sandeep Sinha, Chief Executive Officer – TAFE, in the presence of key members from the local government bodies, Rajasthan Dealer Partners and customers.
“At TAFE, we have always believed that the progress of Indian agriculture depends on combining strong domain knowledge, appropriate technology, and a deep respect for sustainability. The inauguration of the JFarm Rajasthan, reflects this belief and our enduring corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment to stand alongside farmers as partners in their growth,” Lakshmi Venu, Vice Chairman, TAFE, said.
JFarm, TAFE’s adaptive agricultural research and training initiative, was established in 1964 at Kelambakkam, Chennai, and has since been instrumental in bridging the gap between farm mechanization and on-ground farming needs. Apart from the Kelambakkam facility, JFarm has such a facility in Telangana. The JFarm and Product Training Centre (PTC) in Rajasthan is a CSR initiative and the third such facility in the country.
JFarm Rajasthan, as a key hub, will play an important role in advancing farm mechanisation and extending its benefits to farmers across Rajasthan and the wider North Indian region, the company said.
