Diploma in Agriculture
Recognised & Approved by: MCCIS, The Diamond Harbour Women’s University
About the Course
The Indian agriculture sector plays a crucial role in the nation’s economy, contributing around 17% to the GDP and providing livelihoods to over 60% of the population. In recent years, the sector has been undergoing rapid transformation, driven by modern technologies, innovative farming methods, organic market expansion, and advanced resource management. The goal is to produce high-quality crops with maximum productivity, even within limited land, water, and space—whether in rural or urban settings—to meet the needs of our growing population.
The 1-year Diploma in Agriculture is a uniquely designed programme that equips participants with both managerial and technical skills. Students gain expertise in budgeting and cost control, analytical and technical procedures, legal compliance, and modern technocratic & scientific agricultural applications. The curriculum also covers relevant policy frameworks at both local and global levels.
In addition, a minimum one-year Diploma in Agriculture is now a mandatory or desirable qualification for obtaining or continuing key licenses such as Agri Input Retailer License, Fertilizer License, Pesticide License, and Insecticide Retail Dealership License—making this programme highly valuable for aspiring professionals and entrepreneurs in the agricultural industry.
Graduates of this course will have an interdisciplinary understanding of agricultural practices and the science behind them. They can apply their knowledge across industries, government agencies, research institutions, and private enterprises, or even start their own agribusiness ventures. This programme is equally beneficial for freshers seeking employment, professionals in agri-related businesses, and those aiming to implement the latest agricultural technologies in their organisations and communities.
