This
is
very
wonderful
place,
A
nice
place
for
talking
young
children's
for
whole
lots
of
knowledge
&
information
about
our
agricultural
society
and
many
more.
All
agriculture
related
information
is
available
here.
There
is
good
place
to
visit
and
exploring
agriculture.
It
is
the
part
of
ICAR.
οΏΌNational
Agricultural
Science
Museum
(NASM)
situated
in
the
National
Agricultural
Science
Centre
campus
of
ICAR
in
New
Delhi,
is
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
country.
Spread
over
a
two
storey
specially
designed
building
of
floor
area
of
23,000
sq
ft,
the
museum
portrays
the
development
of
agriculture
in
India
since
prehistoric
time
and
the
present
state-of-the-art
technology
in
agriculture
in
our
country,
with
a
futuristic
projection.
Agriculture
and
animal
husbandry
have
been
the
backbone
of
Indian
economy
since
prehistoric
time.
Even
today,
about
65%
of
the
Indian
population
directly
or
indirectly
lives
on
Agriculture.
Agriculture
has
also
shaped
the
literature,
creed
and
culture
of
the
Indian
Society.
The
rich
agricultural
wealth
of
the
country
attracted
hoards
of
migrants
to
arrive
and
settle
in
India.
Ancient
literature
and
archaeological
excavations
have
provided
us
with
innumerable
evidences
of
agricultural
practices
in
ancient
and
medieval
India.
After
Independence,
utmost
emphasis
was
laid
on
agriculture
in
the
consecutive
five-year
plans.
As
a
result,
India
achieved
green
revolution
and
self-sufficiency
in
food
production.
Today,
we
can
not
only
feed
a
billion
people,
but
also
have
enough
potential
to
Copeup
with
the
future
challenges.
Thus,
the
story
of
agriculture
is
the
story
of
Indian
society.
This
story
has
been
documented
in
a
popular
form
at
the
National
Agricultural
Science
Museum.
The
museum
has
150
exhibits
which
are
displayed
in
10
major
sections
viz.
Six
Pillars
of
Agriculture,
Agriculture
in
Prehistoric
Era,
Indus
Valley
Civilization,
Vedic
&
Post
Vedic
Era,
Sultnat
&
Mughal
Era,
Advent
of
British,
Advancement
of
agricultural
sciences
in
Independent
India,
Global
Issues
related
to
Agriculture,
Towards
a
Food-Secure
Future,
and
Children's
Section.
