A History of Agriculture in India v1.c2.3

v1.c2.3

After taking a first class M. Sc. (Hons) degree in Botany, M. S. Randhawa joined the Indian Civil Service, but continued his botanical research on Algae, ultimately earning a Doctorate of Science from the Panjab University. The love of plants which drew him to the study of botany was perhaps the foundation on which were built up his later interests and achievements in the field of floriculture, horticulture and eventually agriculture and all aspects of farming. The scientific training stood him in good stead when dealing with a range of problems whether these were in administration or in handling materials for his outstanding studies on Indian art.
