sciences including crop husbandry, animal husbandry, fisheries, agro-forestry
and interface between agriculture and agro-industry. The Academy’s role is to
provide a forum to Agricultural Scientists to deliberate on important issues of
agricultural research, education and extension and present views of the
scientific community as policy inputs to planners, decision/opinion makers at

national and international importance in critical areas. The Fellows of the
Academy, recognized for their contributions to science, include distinguished
personalities in the field of Agriculture and Allied Sciences, both from India
