AGRI-JOB OPPORTUNITIES - AN E(I)NTRODUCTION

We all Agricos Know that Agriculture is an Evergreen subject(infact its a way of life or culture for many of the human beings) and it is also an established fact that there is no dearth of Employment for "we agricos".
we have so many domains to work in like:

Agricultural Reasearch & Development: which requires for a minimum of PG
Agricultural Input sales and Marketing  : many MNCs have paved a way for this
Agri-Related Rural Banking  : RDOs, Field officers etc,
Agriculture Extension Services  : mainly in Public Sector(Agri-clinics can also come in this Category)
Agri-Commodities marketing : Commodities Purchase,logistics,Processing.
  
                                These are Traditional jobs available for Agricos.but we are missing out on some emerging sectors like Agri-business Analytics, Agri-business consultancy, Agri-Genetic Engineering , commodity exchanges etc,

 But to create new niches for ourselves and for being a part of any new technology say biotechnology(this is already a grown-up baby), NANOTECHNOLOGY(TNAU is offering a course) we have to strive hard and use those technologies for Developing new agri-Technologies which inturn would raise the scope of Agriculture and increase the EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES for Agricos,Agriculturists and other dependents.
                      " Interdisciplinary approach" is the Order of the Day in Agriculture.

 Agribiotechnology,Agri-Microbiology are all some fruits of such approach , but they are all have become traditional. Integrating Agriculture with Information Technology like Bio-Informatics, computational Biology,Modern climatological techniques , Genetic Engineering are all needed . And as we know the number of  Agricos Passing out in India is around 10k to 15k it is a likely Responsibility for Every Agrico to be very Knowlegeable and be WORLD CLASS  and take responsibilities on their shoulders to develop such every "INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES POSSIBLE" to increase the Length and width of Agricultural Arena.Such Increased per capita efficiency of Agricos would also increase  their per-capita incomes and there by their STATUS in the society
