The Agriculture Business Management (ABM) programme has customised the course curriculum for Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU’s) to bring it in sync with the fast-evolving global scenarios and practices required for a meaningful and practical agricultural output. 

This new curriculum recommends the need for a strong industry-institution-interface; encourage inter-functional group projects; focus on mentoring; encourage students to prepare dissertations; blend agribusiness with the environment, pollution and food; and explore various online platforms.  

As part of this initiative, PJTSAU and ISB worked closely with sector experts, academia, entrepreneurs and other direct, indirect stakeholders, a statement released by Telangana government said. 

Quoting Professor V Praveen Rao, Vice-Chancellor, PJTSAU, the statement reads, “Our university aspires to equip its students and professionals to become future-ready and enable them to convert challenges into new growth opportunities. As part of this approach, we are reinventing ourselves, forging partnerships with thought leaders and subject experts in emerging technologies.” 

He said, “We are glad to partner with ISB in redesigning the course curriculum for the ABM Programme at this juncture when the need of the hour is to offer the latest and futuristic modules to our students. I am sure the new and enhanced ABM course curriculum will go a long way in developing some of the finest and world-class growth models in agri-business and related sectors.”
