These training classes that are offered to 3rd year agriculture students is an undertaking of a consortium named La Granja Research and Development Center (LGARDC). This consortium, of which the station is a member, is composed of four other agencies namely, the Sugar Regulatory Administration-La Granja Agricultural Research & Extension Center (SRA-LGAREC), the Bureau of Plant Industry-La Granja National Crop Research Development and Production Support Center (BPI-LGNCRDPSC), Department of Agriculture Negros Occidental Research Outreach Station (DA-NOROS) and the Philippine Carabao Center-La Carlota Stock Farm (PCC-LCSF). Since its establishment in the 1970’s, numerous agriculture students had benefitted from these trainings.
This training includes the discussion of production management practices for different root crops (i.e. ubi, sweet potato, cassava and gabi), and hands-on application of some practices in the field.
The training was conceived in response to one of the stations’ mandates, which is to provide training to farmers, agricultural technicians and students of UPLB and other agricultural colleges and universities in the region.
The Office of the Legal Aid (OLA) is an institutional unit in charge of the clinical legal education program of the University of the Philippines College of Law. Aside from providing law students with exposure to actual law practice, OLA inculcates in the minds of law students the concepts of public service and social justice by providing free legal services to those who cannot afford it. Many Filipinos find themselves involved in legal disputes requiring legal representation or simply need advice on legal issues but do not have sufficient resources to engage the services of private lawyers. OLA aims to bridge this gap by providing the legal service they need, while also giving its interns learning experience by handling actual cases.
