Youth Forum on Agricultural Education: Providing Opportunities, Preventing Brain Drain

The university represents some of the highest concentrations of talented and intelligent individuals anywhere around the planet.  This is the place where people literally engage in lifelong education. Students from agriculture universities are the ones who will be leading the agricultural development being an entrepreneurs, policy makers, bureaucrats, researchers and academicians. Still agriculture universities in Nepal are facing several crisis including poor infrastructure management, inadequate research and extension services, underutilization of its own products in terms of human resources, etc. Since the establishment of agricultural universities, the trend of young graduate’s migration is ever increasing. We are happy and surprisingly accepting this kind of trend and  proud about this. It makes us a failure in utilization of our own products and cash in our own investments. A new trend of providing and searching new opportunities must be initiated and promoted. Everyone unitedly can bring about such changes. And the first step towards it can be realizing our misapprehension about foreign dreams and conduct a meaningful conversation on how to find a better purpose of our education within the country. It’s a time to connect learning with real life experiences.

The proposed one day forum will be held in Rampur Campus, Chitwan, Nepal on 12th of August, 2015 on the occasion of 2015 International Youth Day which aims to gather young professionals involved in agricultural education, teaching, extension, research and entrepreneurs.
