Dr. G. Venkaeshwarlu explained about the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the door is wide open for you to take charge of your future, not only in the field of education but also in shaping the future of agriculture itself. The NEP 2020 encourages vocational training in various sectors, including agriculture. It creates opportunities for students to specialize in areas like soil health management, organic farming, agricultural engineering, food technology, and rural entrepreneurship. For agricultural graduates seeking financial assistance after completing their undergraduate studies, there are several opportunities available, ranging from government schemes, scholarships, and educational loans to grants for starting agriculture-based businesses. In the era of Digital India and Skill India, a range of online courses, platforms, and opportunities are available to help individuals and startups thrive in the agriculture sector. These initiatives aim to boost agricultural education, enhance skills, and promote innovation, with a strong focus on sustainability and technology.
