About Directorate of Agriculture - In a Memorandum prepared by Rai Bahadur, K. L. Barua, B. L., the then Director of Agriculture, Assam in 1927 for submission of Commission of Agriculture, a vivid picture of growth of Agriculture Department is found.
The Department saw considerable expansion in its first half century's existence although it was combined either with Land Records or with Industries and Cooperation Departments except for the period from 1906-07 to 1911-12 when Assam was amalgamated with Eastern Bengal. In 1930, Industries and Cooperation Department were separated and Agriculture became an independent Department in November 1930. Mr. A. G. Birt joined as the first technically qualified Director of Agriculture, Assam on 01.04.1931. However, his predecessors being generalists were none the worse in their understanding of agricultural situation of the state as may be seen from increase in strength of officers and staff and establishment of research stations on major crops during the first 50 years.
The Directorate of Agriculture Assam is inviting applications from eligible candidates for purely contractual positions of Agri-business Development Executive (9 nos), MIS Executive (1nos) and Project Management Executive (1 nos) under Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) Scheme. More details about the recruitment are provided below.
