Maharashtra will add farming, agronomy as part of school syllabus

Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday said school Curriculum in the state will now include Agriculture and Agronomy. This will lay the “foundation for a transformation in the way the younger generation perceives farming”.

School students in Maharashtra may soon learn two additional subjects linked to agriculture as part of their syllabus.

The present curriculum 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. Gaikwad, state Agriculture Minister Dadaji Bhuse and top officials from the two departments arrived at this decision during the meeting.

Accordingly, the Maharashtra State Council for Education Research and Training Institute (MSCERT) and Maharashtra Council of Agriculture, Education, and Research (MCAER) have been directed to start developing a suitable curriculum soon.

Early introduction of these subjects at school level will create sensitivity and awareness among students, regarding different issues faced by farmers, Mr Thackeray said, adding that students will find sustainable solutions to these challenges.
