The T.S.Srinivasan Centre for Rural Training (CRT) was founded by TVSES in 1997, to train small and marginal farmers in organic farming practices that are eco-sensitive and do not destroy the earth's resources.
CRT is located in a 9 acre organic farm in the dry region of Hosur in Tamil Nadu. The Centre advocates integrated organic farming as a more sustainable alternative to modern agricultural practices which require unsustainable inputs like high cost fertilizers and pesticides.
CRT has undertaken many soil and water conservation projects and extension and training activities in organic farming. In collaboration with Department of Science and Technologies , New Delhi, CAPART, Hyderabad, NABARD, Agriculture
