Seeds of Knowledge: Exploring the Impact of Education on Agricultural Productivity and Rural Transformation in Assam
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In order to transform agriculture and promote rural development, education is essential. Formal and informal education can have an impact on human development, innovation uptake, productivity, and sustainable practices in Assam, where agriculture continues to be the dominant economic sector. This study looks at the ways that educational interventions in skill development, training programs, extension services, agricultural education, and rural education in general have improved Assamese agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods. The study uses a combination of techniques, such as a literature review, secondary data, and field-level observations, to show how education influences production, as well as the limitations and future directions.Assam's economy still relies heavily on agriculture, which supports rural livelihoods and shapes the region's citizens' cultural identities. It is the main industry in India that creates jobs for the great majority of people, especially in rural areas. Because education helps farmers accept innovations, make better decisions, and respond to environmental and socioeconomic difficulties, it has become a more important aspect in agricultural output. This study examines the relationship between Assamese agricultural growth and education, examining the effects of both formal and informal learning on resilience, production, and rural change. Globalization, women's engagement, and the function of agricultural institutions are all examined. The paper makes the case that the state's sustainable agricultural development depends on an inclusive, context-sensitive, and contemporary educational framework.
