I am writing to express concern about the exclusion of Agricul­tural Engineering graduates from job opportunities within the Irri­gation Department. Agricultural Engineering is a specialised field, covering thirteen courses related to irrigation, drainage, hydrology, and water management, provid­ing expertise crucial for the de­partment’s responsibilities. The current practice of barring Agricultural Engineers from com­peting with Civil Engineers is un­just, given their qualifications and expertise. - Advertisement -The Irrigation Department’s re­sponsibility involves managing water resources for agriculture, requiring professionals with skills in developing efficient irrigation systems. Allowing Agricultural Engineers to participate in competitions will ensure fair opportunities, promot­ing sustainable growth in irriga­tion and agriculture for the benefit of Pakistan’s economy.
