Our Agricultural Scientists Speak
I am Ajay Nagar, I did my graduation from School of Agricultural Sciences, CPU, Kota (Rajasthan) in the year 2022 and presently, pursuing in M.Sc. (Ag.) Horticulture. My entire academic journey from the year of 2018 has led me to specialize in Hi-tech Fruit and Vegetable Production, a field that has not only deepened my understanding of advanced agricultural techniques but has also garnered me a remarkable annual turnover of more than ₹15 LPA. With a strong passion for enhancing the cultivation of fruits and vegetables through cutting-edge technologies, I am dedicated to contributing to the evolution of sustainable and high-yielding agricultural practices.
