The progression of agriculture has contributed to the growth of human development. Earlier a farmer could produce sufficient food only for his family but with the advancement of various irrigation methods, electricity assistance, machinery, genetical
hods, electricity assistance, machinery, genetically modified organisms and other modern technologies, today farmers can grow agricultural products for more than 50 families. To guarantee the perpetuation of agriculture, the country has had a high demand for qualified professionals along with modern scientific equipment and technology.

“Agriculture is the Most Healthful, Most Useful and Most Noble Employment of Man”. With these words of George Washington, I would like to welcome you to the Faculty of Agriculture. This quote totally supports the case of India, which is basically an agrarian economy and nation. Due to this, the field of agriculture will always have a wide scope for employment. Agriculture science can do wonders towards the agricultural productivity. For instance, the areas where there is water shortage, crops which consume less water are grown. And regions, where the soil fertility is low, advanced fertilizers are utilized. The credit for this goes to science, our farmers, modern technology and above all the experts who would have studied this course. This is how far the developments in agriculture have reached. Coming to our Faculty, I’m extremely gratified of the rich custom of providing practical, experience-based education which the Faculty has upheld since its founding. India is a renowned country in terms of agriculture due to the ideal climate, and ecological diversity. I believe that with passion and perseverance, every student can achieve the unachievable and create a whole new world of agriculture.
