Career and growth
Ours is a country where the majority of the population depends on farming. Since most of the farming community still uses traditional agricultural practices, there is a huge scope for growth in this sector, by simply bringing in modern technology to our farm lands. As India is a net exporter of spices and condiments, there's a huge market in producing and exporting spices and their products. There are opportunities in fisheries, forestry, dairy farming, horticulture, food-preservation, pig farming, cattle rearing and various other socio-economic development ventures. It also gives you the opportunity to pursue MSc programs in the same field with future scope for research.
