It is seldom perceived about people achieving major milestones in the field of agriculture. A student from an Indian university has bagged a massive job package of Rs 1 crore per year in Canada.
Kavita Faman, a final year student of MSc Agriculture (Agronomy), was offered a job by major Canadian agriculture firm with the whopping package. Faman has been offered the role of Production Manager, which means she will be supervising the manufacture of agrochemicals when she joins the Manitoba office later this month. And she’ll be taking home about Rs 1 crore a year for her efforts.
The offer was made based on a preliminary test as well as interviews conducted by the company’s officials, both of which she apparently aced.
“Agriscience is at the cusp of a technology-led disruption,” Faman said about her new posting. “From innovations in biotechnology to the usage of data science, the field is embracing the latest technologies and Monsanto is at the forefront of it. I am extremely excited to join the company and will strive to absorb as much as I can over the next few years.”
Based on comments by Lovely Professional University’s School of Agriculture Dean, Dr. Ramesh Kumar, Faman is one of their brightest stars to have ever gone through the program.
“This proves that there are massive career opportunities in agriculture for those who are willing to learn and work hard,” he said. “We hope to see more students following Kavita’s footsteps in the future.”
The school itself is considered one of the foremost agro institutes in the country. As a practical experience, they even have farmland spread across 1,000 acres so students can conduct their research.
Recently the 21-year-old boy hailing from Mumbai has made the country proud by bagging a job at Google’s London office, for an annual salary of Rs 1.2 crore.
