Outdated Agricultural Education Crippling India's Food Security and Rural Development
The agriculture sector in India is crucial for food, jobs, and economy, but it's facing challenges. Higher education in agriculture needs to change to better support rural development. Agricultural universities in India are currently separate from other universities, hindering their impact. The focus on crop variety during the 'green revolution' improved food production but led to unsustainable practices. To improve agriculture in India, it's important to integrate agricultural education with other universities. This change is necessary for the sector to thrive and benefit rural communities.
