Syngenta opens second Farmer School in Rajshahi

Syngenta Bangladesh has inaugurated its second Farmer School at Nimpara Union, Charghat, Rajshahi on December 11, 2025, in collaboration with local government to help marginal farmers learn better farming methods and promote sustainable farming.

The inauguration ceremony was graced by Md. Rahatul Karim Mizan, Assistant Commissoner (Land) of Charghat, Rajshahi, as Chief Guest, while Md. Mizanur Rahman, Chairman of Nimpara Union Parishad, Charghat, presided over the event as Chairperson, according to a media release. 

Mr. Hedayet Ullah, Managing Director of Syngenta Bangladesh Limited, attended the program as special guest.

Mohammed Shahidul Islam, Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability at Syngenta Bangladesh, delivered the opening remarks, emphasizing the vision and importance of the Farmer School initiative.

The Syngenta Farmer School is an integrated learning and awareness hub designed to empower farmers with modern knowledge and skills with the explicit goal of developing the total ecosystem of farming, the release says. 

This initiative goes beyond traditional training to create a holistic support system for rural communities.

Syngenta’s first Farmer School at Sardah Union, Charghat, launched earlier in collaboration with the local government in 2023, has already benefited over 1,500 farmers across 14 villages, improving yields and supporting increased household income.

Building on this success, the new Farmer School in Nimpara Union aims to further strengthen the local farming ecosystem and enhance knowledge-sharing among farmers, the release adds.
