Course Description:

Being predominantly an agricultural country, the contribution of agriculture sector in the Nepalese economy needs no over emphasis. Despite the emphasis placed on agriculture development, the performance of this sector is far from satisfactory. Agriculture still today is characterized by traditional and subsistence farming. Coupled with this, there is an acute shortage of trained human resources in agriculture. Over the years, there has been a steady increase in the demand of qualified agriculturists, veterinarians and dairy or food technologists, although the Government of Nepal has given priority to agriculture in its development planning.
