BERHAMPUR: State Chief Minister Naven Patnaik laid the foundation stone for the ninth Farmers’ Training Centre (FTC) of the Punjab National Bank (PNB) in the country at Karapalli near Gopalpur in the outskirts of the city on Friday.

The FTC project at Karapalli was to be established at a cost of around Rs. 10 crores by the PNB Farmers’ Welfare Trust. This trust functions without profit motive. The Orissa Government provided seven acres of land for this centre.

The centre would start functioning on Aug 15 at Gramsevak training centre at Rangeilunda, till its own building came up at Karapalli. Farmers, rural women and rural youth would be trained in the centre about modern modes of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry etc.
