Agriculture has always been one of the strongest pillars of India’s economy. For a long time, most people thought that studying agriculture meant becoming a farmer. But times have changed. Today, agriculture is a modern, technology-driven, and globally connected industry. With a BSc in Agriculture, students are no longer limited to farming—they can step into careers in research, agribusiness, food processing, environmental studies, technology, and even rural development projects.
