Digital Agriculture Internship Programme

About

Not just classroom training.
Not just fieldwork.

The Digital Agriculture Internship Programme is a four-week experiential learning programme designed for third-year B.Tech Computer Science students. Students will work with real datasets, explore digital technologies, collect field-level information, engage with communities and develop community-focused technical recommendations.

Programme Fee
The programme fee covers food and accommodation.

₹15,000 / student
