The Indian Agricultural Higher Education System produces about 15000 in number from about 400 Agricultural Colleges. They have the bigger role to play in realizing “Agricultural Informatics” to the Farming community in the languages known to them. In addition to the students, the faculty members have further greater role to design localized agricultural advisory system using ICT Tools. The National Agricultural Research System (NARS) of India has more than 30,000 Scientists and Technical professionals working in 100 ICAR institutions, 65 State Agricultural Universities, 400 Agriculture College and 650 Farm Science Centres (Krishi Vigyan Kendras). The Indian Agricultural Management & Extension System has more than 75000 agricultural professionals. These Professionals are required to be converted as “Agricultural Informatics Scientists”, in the days to come.

 Agricultural Informatics has emerged as a discipline out of Synergisation between Computer Science & Technology and Agricultural Science & Technology. Agriculture Commodity Seeds is an embodiment of Knowledge System with built-in “Object programming”. Acceleration of Computational Informatics in the field of agriculture development is possible through “formal education” discipline – Agricultural Informatics – for development and utilization of appropriate information system and technology for sustainable agricultural development. 

This is a priority engagement for India, as the Indian Agriculture faces challenges due to Biotic and Abiotic stresses (impact of disease, insect and pest infestations, soil salinity, heat, cold, drought, flood etc.), Climate Change, Changes in food habits and nutritional requirements, Population pressure, Pressure of global trade and competitiveness, and Technological development. 

This proposed Course of the SHOBHIT UNIVERSITY looks forward to have collaboration and participation from the Agricultural Research, development, Management, Education and Extension Institutions in the country for increased productivity and efficiency. 

This Course provides facility to attain 6-Month Certificate Programme as well as 1-Year Post Graduate Diploma for the Working Professionals, during this 2-Year M.Tech Programme.
