Description Amidst climate change and sustainability concerns, the imperative for agricultural education arises from the renewed focus of modern society, nature, agriculture and nutrition. Spanning primary to tertiary levels, this education encompasses diverse subjects. Elementary education instils fundamental concepts, while vocational programmes groom students for agricultural careers. At the college level, the emphasis shifts to teaching and research. Integrating agriculture into Indian schools yields multiple advantages, including enhancing fundamental life skills, nutrition comprehension, environmental consciousness and STEM education. Consequently, students are equipped with indispensable knowledge and skills, paving the way for a sustainable future in the ever-evolving world.
