Default Topic: Profession as Agriculture

Agriculture and its allied profession

Agriculture and its allied profession are not merely source of employment but a complete way of life. The future of a career in agriculture is very bright in Pakistan. Pakistan basically is an agricultural country. Due to extraordinarily importance in our national life about agriculture,

satisfactory development is made in this profession. Education and training from secondary school to university level. Ph.D programme is arranged to fulfill the shortage of trained and educated agricultural experts.



Future outlook and opportunities

Nobody can refuse the importance of agriculture and its allied fields. More than 80 % people in our country are directly or
