Transforming Rural India: Agricultural Education To Create a New Generation of Skilled Professionals [Video]

India, a leading producer of agricultural commodities, faces declining farm profitability. To address this, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, with support from the World Bank, is revamping agricultural education to create a new generation of skilled professionals. These professionals aim to spearhead the next Green Revolution, making agriculture more productive, profitable, and climate-resilient. The curricula of seventy-seven agricultural universities have been significantly upgraded to meet world standards. Students now train in state-of-the-art labs, learning to use GPS, drones, remote sensing technologies, data analytics, robotics, and artificial intelligence. With these advancements, the students of India’s revamped agricultural universities are set to transform rural India and ensure the country’s food security well into the future.
