India is an over-crowded country in south east Asia, having a population over 150 crores, one-fifth of world’s overall population. When comparing it to its lands, it only contains 2% of overall global territory, which makes it one of the most crowded country in the world, along with China.
Having located in South East Asia, the economy of this country is completely based on agriculture. Lack of industrialization is another important reason behind immense level of poverty observed in India.
It has recorded a per capital income for each individual $1670 in 2016, which is at 112th among 164 countries surveyed by world bank. This poor economic graph had shown the lack of effort in the agriculture, as it is broadly an agriculture-based country, and there is almost no foreign invest in the country.
Amidst such poor depiction, it is utterly important to improve the educational status of agricultural studies. Despite critical requirement of agriculture scholars, most of the agriculture scholars shift their sector after obtaining their degrees, instead serving the agricultural sector of the country.
Within this kind of tempestuous situation, you must have been thinking what we are trying to establish. Basically, we are trying to establish the importance of agricultural education in the face of poor economic figures of Indian finance. Even if you are not that much of a patriot, devoted to serve your nation, a degree in agriculture could ensure a high-pay job, and that should be counted in a country like India. Alongside, you always have the opportunity to leave the agricultural sector for other high-paying jobs upon completion of your degree.
Here we are going to provide a list of colleges and universities offering top-notch education in Agriculture.
Here is a list of top agricultural universities and colleges in India. We have prepared this rating on the basis of faculty strength, placement facilities, infrastructure and research opportunities.
