Students from Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) visited Purbadhala upazila in Netrokona on Saturday morning to collect field-level data. Around 10 a.m., they met with the acting Upazila Nirbahi Officer, Tasnim Jahan, who emphasized the importance of such activities for gaining real-world experience. The visit involved 103 third-year students from the Department of Agricultural Finance and Banking, accompanied by three teachers and four staff members.

According to the accompanying teachers, the field data collection aims to help students integrate theoretical knowledge with practical experience. As part of their educational tour, the students are engaging with local farmers and representatives of various financial institutions to gather information.

The collected data will later be used in research and academic activities, contributing to the students’ professional development and understanding of agricultural finance in real contexts.
