I am as an IPM trainer or as an IPM Teacher.

As we know that IPM is not a symbolic activity but it is a practical activity  which can be learn only in the field through self involvement or self participation based on the principles of  learning by doing believing by seeing through practical field activities called Participatory Action Research (PAR activities)to be undertaken as field demonstration  in the field itself  which itself is behaving as IPM farmers field School i.e .a school without wall and ceiling, through nonfarmal education system .It differs from farmal education system in various ways given below....
1.There is no teacher but in place of teacher there is a facilitator who facilitate the process of  learning  by way of creating facilities and environment to learn in the field itself.
2.The audience are well experienced having vast knowledge of  doing farming.
3 .The way of teaching is  of exchanging the views which is a two way  process.The knowledge is not imposed on the gainers but they are motivated to learn.

4.There is no preditermined syllabus or curriculum which is prepared daily basis based on the requirements of the Agroecosystem,weather and climate.
5.It isn't only  a powerful tool to transfer IPM technology but but also as a means of community Development, poverty elevation,adult and health education besides creating awareness for protection of  environment,health,biodiversity,ecosystem etc.,making farmers experts to apply  the technology in their own fields for their further multiplication  effects .
6.The learning process include field observations, collection of the field material ,their segregation, plotting of drawing, group discussion through presentation in groups and decision making.
Learnig through entertainments through group dynamic activities is also done.
7 Multiplying factor is important for sustainability of IPM programme through farmers to farmers education.
8.Reapting the the technology for consequences years makes the farmers and extention workers experts or masters to demonstrate, adopt and teach the technology to their fellow friends.
8.Through practical training the farmers or the extention workers would be capable enough  to identify, analyze a problem and take decisions on their own and could be  able to make solid core team to impart further training to others 
9 .I am one of the among all the masters trainers and imparted several short and long duration training programmes like Season Long training IPM training programmes and organising the  IPM Farmers Field Schools  in different states of India.
