India is a country with
agriculture as the mainstay for most of its population. As enumerated by many
leaders and our first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, our nation can wait for
everything else but agricultural development. Till a few years ago, agriculture
was extensive in nature, practised only for the grower’s and his or her
family’s subsistence. But now things are changing. Agriculture is transforming
into the intensive type, with the help of advanced technology, science etc.
This shift is creating numerous job opportunities that could be immensely
rewarding for a student taking it up as a career.
Contrary to common belief,
agriculture is not only about farming. It involves various other dimensions
like livestock farming, horticulture, pisciculture, dairy farming, agricultural
biotechnology etc. Cutting edge research and continuous innovation are required
for sustainably commercializing agriculture in India. Therefore, students today
are becoming more and more interested in pursuing a career in the field.
The Faculty of Agriculture
at Invertis University is
focused on imparting education and skills that aim to assist students in this
dynamic scenario. Our courses lay thrust on scientific research in agriculture,
government policy analysis, assistance and incorporation of Information
Technology in agriculture etc. Our advanced labs, e-classrooms, experienced
faculty, etc. make the job easier.
