The Cabinet approved amendment of the Agriculture Development Officer/Agriculture Development Officer (Plant Protection) Recruitment Rules (RR) 2019 by amending the minimum qualification of ‘accredited under ICAR’ and by replacing with ‘B.Sc.(Agriculture) from any recognized university”.

As per the existing RR, the candidates who have passed out from Agriculture University not accredited by ICAR are not eligible for applying for the post of Agriculture Development Officer (ADO). This condition is depriving many students who have passed out from recognised Universities without ICAR accreditation. This will pave way for more agriculture graduates to compete in the examination.
