Assessing the knowledge and awareness of agricultural students about agricultural cooperatives

Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of agricultural students about agricultural cooperatives. Agricultural cooperatives play a vital role in promoting collective action, enhancing market access, and improving the socio-economic conditions of farmers. However, the success and effectiveness of agricultural cooperatives depend on the understanding and active participation of farmers, particularly agricultural students who will become future farmers and potential cooperative members. This study will evaluate the level of knowledge and awareness among agricultural students regarding the concept, benefits, functioning, and challenges of agricultural cooperatives. By conducting surveys, interviews, and analyzing existing literature, this research will provide insights into the gaps in knowledge and awareness among agricultural students. The findings of this study will contribute to the development of targeted educational programs and policies to enhance the understanding and engagement of agricultural students in agricultural cooperatives.
