For countless years, agriculture has been playing an integral role in man’s day-to-day life.

Humans used techniques like hunting and gathering for survival before they figured out agriculture.

Only after humans transitioned to these planned methods of sowing and reaping crops did, they prosper.

Humans discovered and developed tools and techniques to increase agricultural production with more effective means of sustaining humanity.

By gaining knowledge on agriculture at a young age, students can start recognizing how it impacts the world around them and also learn about other important aspects of life.

Agriculture focuses on the cycle of how things grow, live, and die. It has been providing humans with resources to survive since the beginning of time and continues to do so to date.

Everyone counts on agriculture, be it for food, fibre, natural resources, or other such things.

Agricultural education isn’t restricted to knowledge just about farming. It also covers and includes topics that contribute to the entire world.

It plays an important role in various areas and is vital for researchers, scientists, nutritionists, educators, and people who want to be involved with the government, the environment, and many other professions.

Without good agricultural reforms, a country would have to rely on other countries for food, raw material, medicine, and many other resources that are necessary for life.

This would not just be extremely expensive, but would also make a nation dependent.

Agriculture provides some of the most essential commodities like fruits and vegetables, animal feed, Cotton, and other fibres like hemp for clothing.

Natural rubber production, biofuels like biogas, etc., and Medicines and Pharmaceutical products.

Dr. Sudhir Giri, the chairman of Venkateshwara Group of Institutions, comes from an agricultural homestead and is deeply connected to his roots.

He understands how major agriculture is for the progression and betterment of a country.

The university provides all the amenities required to study agriculture sciences like laboratories, field research facilities, etc.

The university from time to time conducts many conferences and seminars on various reforms, research, innovations, and discoveries in agriculture.

Recently, a national seminar was organized at Shri Venkateshwara University on “Mrada Urvara Shakti Evam Krishi” in association with Bhartiya Kisan Sangh, Uttar Pradesh.

Agriculture education is an amalgamation of studies in the domain of science, communication, leadership, and technology.

It comprises applied sciences and business management. This field also revolves around the importance of how agriculture impacts the world, how agriculture is co-dependent on other essential businesses that build up a strong economic and social structure, and how it fulfils the needs and requirements of modern society.
