DILIMAN, Quezon City - The Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) kicked off its 35th Founding Anniversary celebration on Tuesday with series of activities led by Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary William Dar and ATI Director Rosana Mula.
Dar recognized the Institute’s efforts in agricultural development and emphasized the need for new mindset on capacity-building, focusing on supporting the agricultural extension system.
We remember the story of a man who rode on a horse-drawn cart, settled and closed his eyes to nap for a while. He assumed that the hotel had informed the driver of his destination so he only said, "Hurry and drive fast!" Later he realized they were heading the other way. So, he asked, "Do you know where we're going?" Still driving fast, the driver yelled, "No Sir, but I'm driving very fast!"
We are in big hurry these days but we are not going no-where. There are just so much to accomplish but we have to be extra-careful not to overspeed. Working late is just an option.
| Extension services continue to evolve. With the challenges that extension workers and farmers face, the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) continues to explore various strategies to improve its efforts as the extension and training arm of the Department of Agriculture. In over 30 years, the ATI has celebrated various successes and learned from the lessons during hard times. Nonetheless, we are proud to be standing the test of time through the support of our partners and the clientele themselves. This is the ATI Today, more committed to bring you extension services beyond boundaries. |
