Agricultural Education Reforms and Mushroom Production Growth Highlighted at Conference
At the 36th Annual Conference of Vice-Chancellors of Agricultural Universities, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan emphasized improving student employability and aligning agricultural education with farmers' needs through technology-driven curricula and practical research. Data showed that only about 0.8 million of 2.5 million graduates found employment in the past decade. Discussions included regulating private agricultural universities and fostering collaboration among universities, ICAR, and farmers. Separately, India's mushroom production surged from 51,000 tonnes in 2015 to nearly 348,000 tonnes in 2024, led by Bihar, despite infrastructure challenges.
