(“PFS”) and built by Huntin Organics Pvt. Ltd., a DSIR-recognised R&D company established in 2008 at IMT Faridabad, Haryana.

The company that enrols you, issues your invoice and is party to these Terms is [DECISION: confirm contracting entity — Permanent Farming Solution Pvt. Ltd. or Huntin Organics Pvt.

02Program overview

The NMASTE Field MBA is a six-month program for agriculture graduates and rural youth. It has two halves:

• Months 1–3 — Training. Live classes, coaching and supervised practice covering sales, marketing, farmer advisory and crop success, together with communication, behaviour, CRM and reporting.
• Months 4–6 — Supervised field work. Farmer meetings, dealer outreach, demonstrations and reporting in an assigned territory, with weekly coach review.

The program is designed to prepare you for the role of Farmer Outreach Executive. Placement is governed by the Job Guarantee Policy.

03Eligibility and admission

To apply you should hold a B.Sc Agriculture, M.Sc Agriculture, Agriculture Diploma or an equivalent agriculture qualification. Rural youth with strong motivation and basic agricultural understanding may be considered at our discretion.

Every application is checked before admission. We may ask for identity, qualification and address documents, and may conduct a counselling call or interview. We may decline an application that does not meet the eligibility criteria, and no application is accepted automatically.

Minimum age at enrolment: [DECISION: confirm minimum age, e.g. 18 years]. Applicants below that age are not eligible.

04Program fee

The program fee is ₹15,000, payable once at enrolment. [DECISION: state whether ₹15,000 is inclusive or exclusive of GST, and the GST rate if applicable]

Your seat is confirmed only when the fee is received and eligibility is approved. A receipt or tax invoice is issued to the email address or WhatsApp number you provide.

The fee covers the training, coaching, CRM access, field supervision and placement support described in the program. It does not cover personal travel, food, accommodation, a mobile phone or data, or any personal expenses incurred during training or field work unless we say so in writing.

05Your responsibilities

The program only works if you show up and do the work. You agree to:

• attend classes, coaching sessions and assigned field days as scheduled;
• complete assignments, reports and CRM entries honestly and on time;
• carry out assigned field activities, including farmer meetings, dealer visits and demonstrations;
• follow the instructions of coaches and field supervisors, including safety instructions;
• behave professionally with farmers, dealers, colleagues and staff;
• give true and complete information in your application and throughout the program;
• keep NMASTE, PFS and Huntin Organics information, pricing, protocols and farmer data confidential;
• participate in assessments and reviews.

06Attendance, performance and qualification

You move through the program in stages: Enrolled → Trained → Assessed → Qualified → Placement-eligible.

• Attendance: minimum [DECISION: attendance threshold, e.g. 85% of scheduled sessions and field days].
• Performance: minimum [DECISION: KPI threshold, e.g. 80% of assigned weekly KPIs, measured on the NMASTE dashboard].
• Conduct: no substantiated finding of misconduct under Section 10.

Weekly KPIs are agreed between you and your coach and recorded on the NMASTE dashboard, which is the record we use for all attendance and performance decisions. If your performance falls below the required standard you will be offered re-training; if it does not recover within the re-training period, you will not qualify for placement or for the stipend for the affected month.

07Field activities

Field work is a core part of the program. You may be asked to travel within your assigned district, meet farmers on their land, run demonstrations and work outdoors. You are responsible for your own safety and for following the safety guidance you are given. Tell your coach immediately about any accident, injury or unsafe situation.

Photographs, videos and reports you produce during field work are program records and may be used by NMASTE for supervision, assessment and training. Use of your image or story in marketing requires your separate written consent (see the Privacy Policy).

08Completion and certificate

You complete the program when you have finished all six months, met the attendance and performance standards in Section 6, and passed the final review. On completion we issue the NMASTE certificate. The certificate confirms completion of this program; it is not a government degree or diploma.

09Job Guarantee

Placement and the Job Guarantee are governed by the Job Guarantee Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In summary: candidates who complete the program and meet the qualification criteria are placed as Farmer Outreach Executives through NMASTE, PFS or their hiring network, subject to the conditions in that policy.

10Fee Return and Stipend

The ₹5,000-per-month payment during Months 4–6 is governed by the Fee Return & Stipend Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Each monthly payment has its own eligibility conditions; the maximum total is ₹15,000.

11Withdrawal and cancellation

If you wish to withdraw, or if we cancel or postpone a batch, the Cancellation & Refund Policy applies. Note that a cancellation refund and the Fee Return / Stipend are different things and are never both payable for the same period.

12Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your participation, with written notice stating the reason, if you:

• provide false documents or information;
• falsify attendance, field reports, CRM entries or evidence;
• harass, threaten or behave abusively toward any farmer, dealer, candidate or staff member;
• are repeatedly absent without approved leave beyond the attendance threshold;
• misuse or disclose confidential information or farmer data;
• commit a criminal offence in connection with the program.

You will be told the reason and given an opportunity to respond before a final decision. Termination under this section ends your eligibility for placement and for any unpaid stipend, and refunds are handled under the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

13Intellectual property

Training videos, presentations, manuals, protocols, crop and product information, CRM tools, the NMASTE name and logo, and all other course material belong to NMASTE, PFS or Huntin Organics. You may use them for your own learning during the program. You may not copy, record, share, sell or publish them, or use them to train others, without our written permission.

14Changes to the program

We may change trainers, session timings, venues, the order of modules and the delivery method (for example moving a session online) where reasonably necessary. We will not change the program fee, its duration, or the substance of the Job Guarantee and Fee Return & Stipend Policies for a batch that has already enrolled, except with your written agreement.

15Liability and force majeure

We are responsible for delivering the program with reasonable care and skill. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you in connection with the program is limited to the program fee you have paid. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, epidemics, strikes, government orders or failures of public infrastructure; where such events affect a batch we will reschedule the affected part of the program.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law.

16Grievances

If something goes wrong, tell us. Write to hi@nmasteindia.com or WhatsApp +91 74282 80572 with your name, batch and the issue. We acknowledge grievances within 3 working days and aim to resolve them within 15 working days. Grievance officer: [DECISION: name and designation of grievance officer].

17Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through the grievance process is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Faridabad, Haryana.

• Job Guarantee Policy

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a policy, the policy governs on the subject it covers.
