Yashwant Krushi Paryatan Kendra (YKPK) is a unique concept that we have come up due to our immense affection in the field of agriculture. We have been practising various types of farming techniques since many years as it is the fundamental sourceto sustain life. YKPK is the tool that we are using to spread awareness in the population about agriculture to rebuild the connection between the people and this forgotten lifestyle.
Though many agro-tourism projects have emerged recently, sadly the prinicipal focus of most of them is tourism. Farming techniques cannot be learnt without proper guidance and hence YKPK has decided that the main focus will be the agricultural factor where one can easily learn the ABCs of agriculture. We provide basic and advanced accommodation facilities inside the farm so anyone can stay according to their choice.
In this project, we will be providing knowledge of traditional as well as modern techniques of farming with the aim that a person visiting the farm will have ample training in basic farming. SO come and experience the joys of true farming!!!
