Agricultural Administration as a discipline in agriculture entails training and leadership in agricultural administration studies to produce qualified personnel that will contribute to the administrative base of agricultural institutions for meeting the changing global challenges.

The changing roles of higher education particularly universities in growth and development of agriculture has raised awareness and concerns about the extent of her contributions to resolve developmental needs through pro-active administration. In addition to the technological know-how that the agricultural graduates must have, they also need sound knowledge of administrative processes to effectively execute their assignments. However, negligible attention had been given to the administrative aspect which is being taught as a topical issue as agricultural extension administration. There is a general saying that “best professionals in various fields are not necessarily best managers or administrators in those fields”. Therefore effective and improved agricultural practice cannot be easily achieved if agricultural graduates are not adequately equipped with necessary basic practical administrative knowledge and skills.

Agricultural administration refers to the management and coordination of agricultural activities and resources to achieve agricultural goals such as increasing productivity, ensuring food security, promoting rural development, and sustainable use of natural resources. It involves planning, organizing, directing, and controlling agricultural activities, as well as implementing policies, regulations, and programs related to agriculture.
