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.

The students are required to visit rural arears during their course to closely observe the rural lifestyle and understand the socio-economic environment. Thereby they will gain hands on experience about the farm management practices and will also get exposed to various rural and agricultural practices adopted by the farmers in the village, Gram Panchayat, Cooperative Societies, NGO’s, etc. and present a report about their learning in the village(s).
After the second semester, the students will undertake internship for two months in any organisation to relate their classroom learning with the ground realities of industry. This is intended to sharpen their knowledge and hone their skills, and develop better appreciation of the practical problems of business organisations, especially from the management point of view. The experience, thus gained, also helps the students in planning their future professional career.

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.
