Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. An agriculture degree is important because it equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to address global challenges related to food security, sustainable farming, and environmental conservation. It also opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities in agribusiness, research, and policy-making, contributing to the development of a vital industry.
With vision of improving students through getting quality education, College of Agriculture, Pathri Taluka – Pathri District – Parbhani (Maharashtra State) was established in 2010.

The Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE) program offered to final year students aim to provide an opportunity to understand the rural situation in relation to agriculture and allied activities and also to transfer technology from the lab to land.
