Agriculture, with its allied sectors, is unquestionably the largest livelihood p

rovider in India, more so in the vast rural areas. It also contributes a signifi
cant figure to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Sustainable agriculture, in ter
ms of food security, rural employment, and environmentally sustainable technolog
ies such as soil conservation, sustainable natural resource management and biodi
versity protection, are essential for holistic rural development. Indian agricul
ture and allied activities have witnessed a green revolution, a white revolution
, a yellow revolution and a blue revolution.
The economy of India is primarily based on agriculture, and that is why, Indian
government is promoting students to pursue agricultural education to boost the c
ountry s economic condition. The education, research and training system of Indian
agriculture is internationally recognized for its quality. After completing an
agriculture course, you can find a job in Agricultural Marketing, Farming, Dairy
Farming, Food Science & Technology and other such disciplines.

Making a difference!
With its very low productivity levels, the sector offers tremendous potential fo
r trained professionals. Besides picking up a gamut of information, you also get
to practically apply it in the real world. You make a difference to the economic
s of your country.

What are some of the qualities and skills needed for a career in agriculture?
You need a good, solid background in science education, especially subjects like
Mathematics, Biology and Physics. Good English language and communication skill
s are crucial. Students from a rural background have an edge as their exposure t
o farming useful.

What does the course curriculum entail?

A general course curriculum covers all aspects of agriculture like agronomy, cul
tivation of crops and soil science, understanding natural resources and manageme
nt. Agriculture extension is cucial, directly reflective of benefit to farmers.

How does geographical diversity influence the study of agriculture?

Variation in terms of geography is essential. For e.g, Jharkhand is 29 percent f
orest resources. Punjab and Haryana are 100 percent irrigated and Bihar is river
-irrigated as well. Jammu and Kashmir as well as the North East, demand an under
standing of hilly track agriculture. A thorough knowledge about soil erosion, la
nd degradation, acute water scarcity and dry land and rain agriculture is requir
ed.
