Bank launches learning centre for Indian farmers

The Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative Bank recently unveiled a new Micro-Learning Centre (MLC) at its Cooperative Training Institute in Hyderabad, India. In a collaborative effort between the bank and COL, the facility supports farmers from Andhra Pradesh state. Equipped with a studio, meeting room and boardroom for staff and management, the MLC offers learning content employing flexible formats tailored to meet different groups’ needs. Educational content can now reach tens of thousands of farmers across the state each day, helping them obtain new skill sets to solve problems in their small farms and micro-businesses. The centre will also conduct highly focused and structured micro-courses using the mobiMOOC platform.
