Message from Principal's Desk:-
Dear Students and Parents,
India is an agricultural country. The Indian economy is basically agrarian. In spite of economic development & industrialization, agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “India lives in villages & agriculture is the soul of the Indian economy”. Nearly 70% population depends directly on agriculture for its livelihood. Agriculture is the main stage of the Indian economy. Despite the share of agriculture in national income has come down, still agriculture continues to occupy a place of pride in the national economy. With this increasing importance of agriculture in national development, the government of Maharashtra took the decision to permit the non-government organizations to take up there in initiating private agriculture colleges under the control of the Maharashtra Council for Agriculture Education & Research established in 1984 at Pune.
