Agricultural education was mainly offered to those few
students wanting to make a career of agriculture. Its goal is to
help students gain a greater awareness of the role of
agriculture in the economy and society, so that they may
become citizens who support wise agricultural policies
The goals of research institutes are to create quality education
and research in basic sciences .To attract and nurture
High quality academic facility .To create integrated masters
program in science, in order to provide entry into research at a
younger age .In addition ,the institutes will have integrated

4. programs leading of masters and PhD to those who hold a
bachelor’s degree in science.
KRISHI BHAVAN
