of our country. Agriculture in India supports seventy percent of the country's
population. Agricultural education is responsible for development of manpower
that can be appropriately utilized for the development of agricultural research,
extension and education in the country.
The agricultural education in India existed even during medieval period.
The subject agriculture was included in the curricula of Nalanda and Taxila
Universities as one of the eighteen Arts courses. However, organised courses
in agricultural education were started in the beginning of 20th century
when 6 agricultural colleges were established at Kanpur, Lyalpur, Coimbatore
and Nagpur in 1906, Puna in 1907 and Sabour(Bihar) in 1908. Before independence
