Agriculture employs probably the largest number of people in India and is one of the largest contributors to the Indian GDP,( approx.. 20.19 %) after Services ( 53.89 % ) and Industry ( 25.92% ). It also offers good scope for Management professionals, in various functions, as the sector is now looking at modernization and also looking at different ways of doing business, as has been envisaged by the Government. This calls for professionals to enter the sector and make a difference. Similarly, the Food Sector is gaining ground, looking at the forward requirements of Agri-Business, and the change in consumption patterns of food products, including processed/frozen products.
