The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in North Cotabato is actively engaging young residents in the province, aiming to cultivate interest in agriculture-related courses as promising career paths, according to agency officials.<\/p>\n
DAR-North Cotabato’s ongoing province-wide information campaign has reached 4,773 Grade 10 and Senior High School students across 20 secondary schools in 18 municipalities as of Tuesday, Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer (PARPO-II) Evangeline Bueno reported.<\/p>\n
Bueno said the initiative focuses on promoting and generating interest in the Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling (SPLIT) Project among key stakeholders, with a specific emphasis on engaging the youth, including students, young leaders, student organizations, and youth groups.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis campaign is not only about raising awareness,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s also about helping the younger generation recognize their potential roles in nation-building through agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the information sessions, students learned about DAR\u2019s mandate, its major programs, including the SPLIT Project, and the diverse opportunities available within the agriculture sector.<\/p>\n
Bueno noted that some attendees were children of Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARB), making the sessions particularly meaningful for those with direct connections to the project.<\/p>\n
Xhadi Calibara, a student from Manglicmot High School in Alamada, North Cotabato, expressed her appreciation for DAR\u2019s outreach program and its impact on her as a student. \u201cIt\u2019s good to finally understand what DAR does for our farmers, especially the Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries. I never knew how big its impact was until now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Calibara admitted that learning about DAR\u2019s scholarship offerings opened new possibilities for her future.<\/p>\n
\u201cKnowing that DAR offers scholarships made me think seriously about taking agriculture or related courses in college. I\u2019m now considering it as a real option for my future,\u201d she told DAR officials. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
