economy. For a major emerging economy, like India, higher inclusive growth

growth. Concurrently, increasing population rate, global interdependencies,
and diversity of markets; wider choices for consumer choices, new
technologies and intellectual property regimes along with impacts of climate
change and sustainability of resource base of agriculture are some of the
challenges contributing to the complex nature of this sector. More often, these
complexities bring uncertainties in this sector and enhance risks.

designed to contribute a new generation of young agri-business managers with a
holistic perspective of agriculture and agribusiness, and with capacities to find
tangible solutions to challenges faced by the stakeholders of this sector. The
