Agriculture in India

Today modern agriculture practices are increasingly turning out to be knowledge-based and hence gaining proficiency in them is not an easy task for many of rural farmers in developing countries such as India.

India does require education at all levels so that Indian farmers and their coming generations are better equipped to handle the pressure of globalization especially these days with the entry of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the agriculture sector, where many MNCs have forayed into the segment with dozens of agro-products; subsequently this has resulted as a threat to Indian farmers and business family who lack professional expertise to better deal with the issue, therefore to have agricultural education is on high priority.

Keeping into account of the fact that increased productivity and production must be the sole objective of agricultural research, our scientific community is leaving no stone unturned for bringing about paradigm changes in agriculture education in the country.
