Indo-Australia pact to train farm workers

Chennai: India and Australia have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation in training farm workers that could grow to 12-15 million in the coming decades. The training will be an industry-oriented one. The MoU was signed between the Agriculture Skills Council of India and AgriFood Skills, Australia. It also aims to set benchmarks for certification and information.

A brainchild of the Prime Ministers of both the countries, the MoU is part of a larger collaboration in other fields such as telecommunication, retail, mining, media and entertainment. Satender Arya, CEO, Agriculture Skill Council of India, and Arthur Belwitt, CEO, Agrifood Skills Australia, signed the partnership pact in the presence of Patrick Suckling and Dilip Chenoy, CEO of the National Skills Development.
