Programme OVERVIEW

The MBA in Agri-Business programme has been developed to equip the students to tap the emerging and growing opportunities in the agricultural sector. In the coming days, we expect to see a more significant role of the corporate sector in Indian agriculture, given the agrarian reforms now being ushered in. This will require a large workforce trained and skilled in agribusiness management to manage modern agriculture and allied activities.

MBA in Agri-business is a two–year full-time programme spread over four semesters. Emphasis is given here on the rural immersion module, case analysis, and presentation with a multi-disciplinary approach to sharpening the managerial skills required to manage agriculture and allied activities as a business. After completion of the Programme, the students can enter an array of specialised career options in various sectors such as corporate agriculture, food processing, agro-marketing, FMCG, banking, marketing analytics, CSR, dairy, horticulture, floriculture, agro-tourism, agro-export &; import and so on, in addition to becoming Agri-entrepreneur.

FAQs

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
