Maharashtra Board is planning to introduce Agriculture and Agronomy (agriculture economy) subjects in its school curriculum. The idea was proposed during a recent meeting held between the Department of Agriculture and Department of School Education.
The present syllabus offered at state-run schools will also offer Agriculture and Agronomy (agriculture economy), as proposed during a recent meeting held between the Department of Agriculture and Department of School Education. School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad, state Agriculture Minister Dadaji Bhuse and top officials from the two departments arrived at this decision during the meeting.
“With over 50 per cent students studying at schools located in the state’s rural areas, and belonging to families involved in farming, the introduction of these subjects will be an opportunity for them to learn more about agriculture,” said Gaikwad.
