Introduction:-
Nepal is Agriculture based country. Among 27.5 million Nepalese around 65.6% are depends on
Agriculture for their livelihood. The agriculture sectors contributes approximately 35% of GDP
( Gross Domestic Products) , in that around 24% of GDP is contributed by livestock and poultry
.In around 87% of Nepalese people rears any one types of livestock (animal). So, animal
production has very significant contribution in uplifting the rural and urban economy with the
huge potential of generating the employment. So animal science has a vital scope and
important aspect in the context of developing countries like Nepal. Generating
entrepreneurship by providing technical skills , knowledge and competent manpower has
always been the major objectives or concern of Council for Technical Education and Vocational
Training ( CTEVT) , established 1989 AD ( 2045 BS). Agroforestry polytechnic institute, the
public TEVT institute, established in 2017 AD as a constituent collage of CTEVT in CHHATRADEV
rural municipality-04 Arghakhanchi is running Diploma/ Isc (3 year) course in Animal science
and plant science. Since the establishment of AFPI it always assured its academic as well as
managerial excellence in both academic and short term training with excellent positive impact.

WEP ( Work Experience Program):-

The WEP is an internship program that provides participants with the opportunity to gain
knowledge and develop skills & work habits that increase the potential for environmental
success. The interns are given the opportunity to experience real world on the job training to
help them similary progress from the internship environment and self sufficiency.

Rationale of WEP :-
Limitations/ challenges of WEP :-
 Lack of necessary laboratory equipments.
 Lack of infrastructure like Trevis , Dipping Tank etc.
 Insufficient medicines, drugs, chemicals,and mechanical instrument for treatment.
 Superstitious farmers with inadequate knowledge.
 Insufficient publicity of vet clinic of AFPI .

Objectives:-
a) Gross objective:-
The objectives of the WEP is to make students familiar with/ gain firsthand experience
of the world of work as well as to provide them an opportunity to gain skills that are
new or not covered in the institute .

b) Specific objectives :-
- To be familiar with practical experience of official job .
- To emplement the learning in the work .
- To develop technical knowledge and skills.
- To learn to creat harmony , and work in a group .
- To fence and defend challenges in the practical work.
- To prepare student for real works .
