From ICAR's merit scholarships and national fellowship programmes to state government scholarships, PAU institutional awards, and corporate CSR scholarships from agricultural companies, there are funding opportunities for every category of deserving student. UDAAN Agriculture Institute in Bathinda guides students to identify, apply for, and secure these scholarships.
ICAR provides substantial scholarship support for agriculture education. ICAR Junior Research Fellowships provide ₹31,000 per month for MSc students.
